Re: [Plug] Proxy Server

[Aaron Brown <linux@fsckit.com>]

I have not had a problem with it, and I know a few people that use it.  It
is nice if you need to use both OS's and dont feel like rebooting all the
time.  It turns out to be a nice time saver.  And one neat thing is if you
have your box running on a high speed connection you can run vmware from
your shell and export the view to another box.
