What to do with computer?

Starting to read up RRAS (70-293), and my VM's are on my laptop, but of course I didn't have 2 nics to play around with it, so decided to purchase this $80 computer today. Problem is, I don't know weather to format and put Server 03 on it or just put some more VM's on it and play with RRAS that way?

What you think?

thanks

    What virtualization software are you using? You should be able to add virtual NICs to do whatever you need.

    What's up Dynamik?

    I am using Virtual Box. How do you setup the nics?

    got it. real simple. thanks dynamik when i went over this in 291, i had a box that had two nics but gave it to a friend so he can practice with his Linux stuff. i didnt really get into this VM software until after 291. seen a lot of this stuff from 291, but figured does't hurt to play with it again.

    i brought that computer for nothing? icon_sad.gif

    Nope, you bought it so that you could put ESXi on it to host a horde more of VMs. :)

    That's what I will probably end up doing. Just upgrade a bit and go from there.

    Good Idea :)
