As with previous blog posts on the subject of virtualisation, I used VirtualBox to run an image of Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition(tm) on Kubuntu 7.10. You will need a fairly powerful machine with a lot of free hard disk space and free RAM. I set aside 15GB of hard disk space for the image and 1GB of RAM to be dedicated to the virtual machine.

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park need your help! It was the site of the UK's main codebreaking establishment in World War 2 and the work done there significantly shortened the war and saved many lives. As well as the role it played in delivering the freedom we have today, it is also regarded as the birthplace of modern IT. Despite this significance, the site is in decay and desperately needs your support.

Shockingly, it receives no external funding and is being allowed to go into decline. You can help by signing this No.10 petition: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/BletchleyPark/ and you can get more information by visiting http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk.
