Virtual Windows Servers on Linux laptop...

[gmongardi at napc.com (Grant M.)]

Hey all,
    This is a combination Linux/Windows question, so please only flame
me in half of you emails. Basically, what I am looking to do is to have
an x86 laptop running some flavor of Linux with 2 or 3 flavors of
Windows Server OS's running on it (2000, 2k3, 2k3r2). The plan is to use
these as ActiveDirectory Systems to test our Solaris/Linux/OSX AD
integrations against. As we begin to roll out more and more of these
integrations, we are finding that each one is more unique than the last,
and hence more problematic. What we want the system for is to have a
baseline to test against that we know works in the lab, so that we can
more easily determine if it's network, AD, or implementation related.
    The questions are, has anyone on the list done this sort of thing,
and will the 2k3 versions run on it? Also, is this the best way to do
this, or are there better options?
Any help appreciated,
Grant M.
