[QUOTE="PerryLynch, post: 525340, member: 38563"] As a VMWare user, I have to recommend that method. A, the boot times are even faster, as you can suspend a session rather than have to reboot it each time. If you suspend your guest OS and sleep your laptop, you can go from backpack to fully operational in something less than 90 seconds, regardless of your guest OS. And the advantage of running one of the small bootable linux distros in VMWare is that you can save the relevant config files to your host OS and never have to sweat your network settings - just copy them back in and restart the network service. Hope that helps P [/QUOTE]
