Believe or not, creating a few linux VMs in a powerful laptop and building a small network with Linux are really fun. I have 2 SLE8 plus 1 RH9, all in my laptop. All three can be fired up at the same time and make a full function network - front end web/mail servers, iptables, mid tier - app server and backend my SQL... thanks for the IBM power house laptop!
The SLE8 works very smoothly with VM. RH8 seems to have some problems loading X and NAT(sharing the host IP to access the public network). I started with a very very small installation of RH9 (700MB) to get start on Redhat, now I'm half way to a fully working copy of RH9. All private networks work great between the three Linux VMs. Now, I can play with anything without breaking any rules,
RH9 accessing outside world and X are just bonus play...

Well if you're gonna install on a VM machine and then screw up the package
system, what do you expect...?
Sheesh.
