    HG> To each his own, I like it .   
      
   the main reason i don't like it (dual booting) is because that other OS is not   
   busy doing something worth while... if i have to have two or more OSes   
   installed, they're all going to be running and performing worth while tasks...   
   at one time there were over 12 physical machines all running in this server   
   room... today, most of them are running in virtual machines... i cannot say   
   that the quantity of power used has dropped, though... the systems strong   
   enough to run multiple virtual machines all require larger power supplies   
   (500+W) that those being replaced (250W to 350W)...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...
