For a server to which I trust my data, I would want a 100% open model
with an active community supporting it. I may try out your solution on
a different machine out of curiosity, but it's not the solution I'm
looking for. I chose VirtualBox based on the large install base and
perception of active community support.

I'll try installing and running VirtualBox sometime over the next few
weeks and post back if I have any problems that aren't addressed in
the wiki.

Thanks for all the tips,
Jan
