Great idea. Now, add in the Virtual Private Server stuff from sw-soft.com 
(aimed at the web hosting market, it promises very efficient partitioning--to 
the order of 100s of servers on a medium-sized Intel box). Hmmm... I wonder if 
the commecial vendors (VMWare & SW-Soft...any other you can think of) would be 
willing to provide a lab or software?
