    VMWare Server - lightweight host / "esx-like" host

    Hello all. I would like to run VMWare server on some old hardware, for the moment it's a PIII 733 with 640MB of RAM, however this will just be a proof of concept before I invest in something more permanent (thinking an Atom 330 / 2GB RAM, PICO-PSU). It'll be used to run ~3 VMs permanently...

    Logitech media buttons under Vista

    Does anyone know of a 3rd party software/driver for the Prev/Next, Play/Pause and Stop buttons on Logitech keyboards? Logitech's software does not work on Vista (more to the point, Logitech has written the installer to refuse to install). I use a corded "Elite" keyboard.
