I don't really have the need. At work I run XP or various flavours of
Windows server (on the internal side) or various flavours of linux on the
outward facing server side. At home I have some servers (mail server runs
mandriva and has *lots* of customisation so I'm not about to port that
over - last time I upgraded it took two days of work to get
qmail/ezmlm/daemontools/apache etc reinstalled exactly the way I wanted

That says loads that does, if it is so hard to upgrade, replace it it with
Solaris and make future upgrades easier :-)

them), Win2k3 (AD domainmaster & file server) and my desktop (XP - for
games only - no other use and gets hardly used. But I don't want to
emulate XP since for games you want speed and speed alone..).

I run XP inside Solaris :-P


My laptop is a Macbook Pro - does dualboot into XP via bootcamp but I
haven't investigated how to set it up triple boot.

The Macbook does have Parallels do I might grab OpenSol and slap it into
a parallels session to see what it's like.
