Re: Lab setup for security learning

Hi Ankur,

These days vmware products are free, so why not use them? This kind of
setup would help you much as guest OSs without X (*nix) will not require
much resources...

Also, it might save a lot of time at re-installation (in case you'll
bring down totally during your "experiments").

My 50 cents...
