Nifty VMWare thingy

The VMWare license from Brainshare showed up. So I installed it. One thing I noticed after poking around is that, unlike MyVPC from MS, they have 'tools' for NetWare. This is really freakin cool. The big problem with NetWare is that it NOOPs the CPU during idle instead of HALTing it. This means that the Virtualization Software's CPU usage is 100% during that time. That ain't good. The 'tools' force it to HALT instead, which is really nifty. If I had two Netware servers running at the same time, the NOOP thing would force both to behave very eratically. I should be able to virtualize clusters with this stuff!

More poking later.
