don't forget that ideally, you should have a large amount of RAM (preferably
> 128MB RAM).
VMware allows you to use any Intel OS on top of Windows NT 4.0 Workstation,
Windows 2000 Professional or Linux. So in theory, your WinNT/2K/Linux box
could be running OpenBSD, SuSE Linux, RedHat Linux, Debian Linux, Windows
95, Windows 3.11, BeOS and Solaris - all under VMware. Which would allow
you to test a huge variety of browsers. Cool, eh?
