"Server" makes more sense as a logical rather than a physical partition. A lot of companies in the penetration testing space, including QuietMove, use specialized virtual machines in their pentest lab. That way we can have a base image and dedicate one instance of it to a customer, to keep data and specialized configurations separate. I've been using VMware for pentesting since 2000. It runs much better now than it did then, on a P3-500 with a whopping 1GB of RAM. :) Yo Dre
