This will make it a tad difficult... Am not really in a position to get more hardware. I was only planning to run a small Debian Education system for the family, and share the hardware (better wife points), with some other systems. XEN is the virtualization system I am using, and unfortunately, so far I have been unable to get it to install from the CD. It would be easier if the CD was prepared for XEN (as the normal Squeeze CD is, it has special vmlinuz and initrd.gz for xen and netboot). At least that could be something to think of for the future. I really wish I can get this to work, but might have to have a second look at Edubuntu :(, but since everything else is Debian, I am not to keen on that. Back to check with XEN if I have missed anything regarding to install via Image... /Bengt
