I am working on a solution for a friend of mine who has a
small business. He has an application that runs on Windows 2000 Server
(which we plan on upgrading to Windows 2003). I want to put a better
Firewall in place (Smoothwall), and I would like to run this on the Same
machine that Terminal Services is running on.
So, I could use VMWare – But I would prefer something
cheaper, largely due to my friends budget. I saw a recent article where
thanks to Intel, XEN will support Windows in 2005, but that doesn’t help
me now. In the meantime, what other alternatives exist to running Windows
/ Linux on the same box, to give me a working configuration similar to what I
describe above ?
