About

Welcome to our site where we talk about how we use vm technology for work and play. We also keep you up-to-date about the whole virtualization industry by providing a summary of vm related news spottings from all over the web.

We also have a few pre-built VMs that we keep updated on this site. IPCop and TrixBox are my two favorites. I use IPCop in production in about 6 Vi3 VMs and a few physical boxes and I use TrixBox in my home as a phone system.

Great tool for all Networking people - Not just VM junkies...

This is the ever-handy Ethernet Crossover Adapter.

There's this little series of numbers that goes something like "1, 2, 3, 6" to which the audience responds "3, 6, 1, 2". Sure, it's not exactly the most exciting call and response game ever devised, but it will help you remember the pattern for making an ethernet crossover cable.

Or you could just carry the Ethernet Crossover Adapter on your keyring and forget about those stupid numbers. Along with our Ethernet Loopback Jack, the crossover adapter could just help you out of a tight network jam. And besides, having this adapter on your keyring quietly shows the world your status as a prepared geek.
