  the main reason i don't like it (dual booting) is because that other OS is  
  not  
  busy doing something worth while... if i have to have two or more OSes  
  installed, they're all going to be running and performing worth while  
  tasks...  
  at one time there were over 12 physical machines all running in this server  
  room... today, most of them are running in virtual machines... i cannot say  
  that the quantity of power used has dropped, though... the systems strong  
  enough to run multiple virtual machines all require larger power supplies  
  (500+W) that those being replaced (250W to 350W)...

  Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin'  
  it  
  wrong...
