    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Here's what I have running in VMware now:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://freebsd.org" title="FreeBSD Unix">FreeBSD 6.2</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.xubuntu.org/" title="Feisty Fawn">Xubuntu 7.04</a></li>
<li><a href="http://linuxmint.com/" title="Linux for the Desktop">Mint 3.1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.sam-linux.org/" title="SAM Linux desktop">SAM linux</a></li>
<li><a href="http://haiku-os.org/" title="Haiku Operating System">Haiku</a> (formerly BeOS)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.astaro.com/solutions/our_products/astaro_security_gateway" title="Astaro">Astaro Security Gateway 7.0004</a></li>
</ul>
<p>In the case of the last one, it's not really an OS, but it runs as a VMware appliance, and you can get to the Web control panel through your main OS browser. Check it out in any case</p>
<p>There are two others I started looking at today:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.elivecd.org/" title="Where Debian Meets Enlightenment">Elive Gem</a>; and</li>
<li><a href="http://www.vectorlinux.com/" title="...based on Slackware">Vector Linux</a></li>
</ul>
<p>I'll eventually narrow it down to one or two, but I feel like I can get a better feel for these distros if I have a chance to play with them.</p>
<p>Sean suggested that I have a problem with this OS list like I do with CMS "testing" (which never seems to be done). Yeah, well... I can stop whenever I want. heh.</p>
