Welcome to Magnu. I hope this group will be a useful resource for you.
I think, from your impressive recent posting history you mention webconverger
and vmware, which I don't know much about. Magnu member, Billy knows VMWare
but I thing you would be better off with KVM or even VirtualBox. Billy might
also have advice about KVM if that is what you are interested in.
I look forward to hearing what you are actually trying to accomplish. In
general, I'll tell you to avoid non free software, especially on older
hardware.

Which lead me to librarian.net, which is run by an Open Source activist. Is
looks like a good resource for librarians.
