[Yr7-10it] virtualisation

[Frank Merlino]

Vik,
What a great idea. I have already started playing with MS VPC. Out of interest, it seems that with VMWARE Player you need VMWare Server. Is this what yu are using with this product?
 
Regards,

This is more aimed a older students and VET/VCE courses, but... I can't believe I haven't thought of this before - using VMWare player or Microsoft VirtualPC (both free) to run a virtual machine on each student's computer, on which they can do just about anything. Such as install operation systems, install applications, administer systems, you could even make a pre-built VM image with a virus on it (or some other problem) and try to get them to fix it.
