[nzlug] Server Consolidation

Hi Guys,

I'm currently running 3 computers in my room.
1. An IPCop box
2. A Ubuntu Linux system working as a file server, print server, vm
server, application server etc.
3. A desktop machine (Running Windows - I like games)

I was wondering if anyone knew of a decent tutorial on running IPCop
within a virtual machine on the file server so that I can reduce my
electricity bill and the noise in my room and anything relating to the
security of doing such a thing. I've noticed in the list of packages
IPCop now has vmware-tools so I'm pretty sure it can be done securely.

Regards,
Nevyn.
