Trying to do:
At this point, I'm in testing phase because I don't have the experience to
go full bore.
The GOAL for now:
To experiment with some systems to determine if virtualization is a viable
option for my company. Of course we have some peripherals that are special
cases (but so far that's not an issue), and some software that can be
cranky, but not demanding on computing resources. The problem is we're
losing the older hardware at about a computer a month. If I can virtualize
those systems and it works well, then we might be looking to virtualize
everything. I'd love to centralize the OS and Apps management.
I don't need the small linux to run VirtualBox. It just needs to be able to
RDP and that's it. After that, the heavy lifting will be on the servers.
