Does "Gusty Gibbon" refer to breaking wind?

Thanks for pointing out VMware Server, which is free now. I have VMware 
Workstation installed under Mandriva 2008, and so far it is working 
fine; being that it is a solo computer I don't see the need to install 
the Server.

On the other hand Virtualbox is giving me problems accessing a second 
real archive drive. I have the NAT network installed by default. If I 
try configuring it to the host network, the VM won't boot. I tried 
customizing the network bridge according to an online article using 
Ubuntu, but so far it doesn't work. Mandriva has different default 
configurations from Ubuntu.
