Got Wills

Let me just say, WOW. I am impressed with the web interface and complete web control of Virtual Server 2005. It’s not at all what I was expecting (something like Virtual PC). I’m installing SUSE 10.2 on it right now. I plan to setup my Web server on the virtual server and get my blog and any Rails apps I would like to host, like SimpleTicket (which I will be blogging as soon as I get a working copy going).

Virtualization is the way the IT industry is moving and I can see why. It’s not only cheaper to upgrade a system and install another (Virtual) OS on it, but it’s not any harder either… I might go so far as to say it was easier. I didn’t even need to burn my ISO file to a disc. Just load the ISO into Virtual Server and your ready to boot to it.
