I know that it isn't windows haha, I only need to do this because I frequently test web applications like wordpress or gallery before I start from scratch again to make the final install. Yes I'll definetly look into that:)<br>

</div>"reinstall when something goes wrong". Oh dear. This is not Windows.<br>
<br>
An option apart from Xen is VMWare server (free) or VMWorkstation (I<br>
believe it to be free).<br>
<br>
I started with VMWare server at home and haven't bothered to use Xen at<br>
home, but I use it a lot at work.<br>
<br>
IMO VMWare Server is easier than Xen to configure and run, but you may<br>
prefer the non-proprietary route.<br>
<br>
