Has anyone done a recent true apples to apples comparison with Vmware, Virtual Server, and maybe Sen on the same exact hardware running the same guest VMs? Obviously it would have to have Windows as the host OS due to Virtual Server being Windows only but I would like to see how the various solutions stack up in different scenarios. Such as IO heavy, CPU heavy, sheer number of VMs that can be hosted, etc. --- You can use any kind of HTML formatting that Slashdot accepts. Generated by SlashdotRndSig via GreaseMonkey
We have 2 vpn methods. Our main vpn is a hub and spoke topology where our branch offices all connect into our corporate hq. What we use in this case are cheap off the shelf Netgear routers + either dsl, cable, or T-1 connections to our corporate hq which has 3 T-1 lines bonded. The branch routers are FVS318v3 (the v3 is very important much improved processor + ssl for remote mgmt). Our hq uses a FVX538 which has fail-over and load balancing capabilities. I know some do not like Netgear but we have been using this solution for 5+ years and have had very little down time. Plus the routers are cheap so you can keep a hot spare on hand. Now our other solution for out of office work is SSL Explorer which is an open source ssl vpn. It works pretty good and if you want AD authentication you can purchase the "xtra" add on. Hope this helps!
I thought the use of "current" in the sentence was referring to the present but I could be wrong and if so then this whole idea went from way out there to really really way out there.
It's not nearly as small as say a webcam but for hd on the cheap it may work. Maybe a small tripod or soemthing, one of those tabletop ones...Just a thought.
Oh I don't know, I think I'll have to disagree. It's no so much as a matter of something to hide, as it is privacy. I don't have anything to hide per se, but my bathroom doesn't have a big bay window with curtains either, i.e. I don't want everyone else seeing/knowing what I am doing even if it's legal, vital to survival, just plain fun, whatever.

Take a look at spiceworks. It's not open source but it is free. We use it with 3 techs and ~180 users. Works well for us.

I can't tell if that's funny or sad!

both your kids and your wife are in grad school? wow! j/k
I suck, I put specs instead of model number. The model is JVC GR-HD1US, but still nothing say an Apple I-sight HD if that beast were to exist.

Thank you. I tried to get it and couldn't.
Not trying to be a troll or anything, but as far as a corp. desktop goes, WinMe wouldn't really be in any, since it's really a "home" OS.
