very very very cool. thanks. i knew something like that existed. a
couple of our users run windoze. without their knowledge, this windoze
runs in vmware atop of debian :)
some of their computers have also been abused (by me) for other
purposes. like printing, and sometimes vmware, even when not used,
tends to get in the way a lot. now i simply suspend it through ssh :)

thanks!
