Hi,

Hmmm. 1TB is only 500 of these sticks:
http://tinyurl.com/56tue (2GB memory stick) These are already very small, so no doubt what you said is going to happen.

In fact, the VMWare-Oracle-LINUX trial totals only about 6GB for the plug-and-play VM (docs say 8GB because of all the other stuff included).

Quote from SUSE-Oracle-VMWare Distro:
MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

---

• A Desktop or Laptop PC running Windows NT 4.0 6a, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003
• 1 GB of memory
• 8 GB of free disk space (FAT32 or NTFS) For Virtual Machine. If you plan on populating the database with information you will need extra disk space
• 100 MB For VMware Workstation software (FAT32 or NTFS)
• A DVD Reader

Note: I called Redhat last week and theirs was not ready yet. But, I was told they were working on it for release soon. Maybe I'll walk over to their HQ and see. ;-)

Regards,

Mike Thomas
