Thanks Gremlin.
I don't have bare metal, so I'm concerned about performance: Mac OS X
running a Linux kernel running an OpenVZ virtual machine (am I reading
this right: http://openvz.org/Main_Page?). One virtual machine
stresses this MacBook (8 Cores with 8GB RAM), and two drops it to its
knees because of disk bottlenecks.

Ah, ok. I'll try it when I get to that point.
Would you happen to know how to start the dhcp client? I don't have a
network connection at the moment.
So far, I've tried dhclient and received a "command not found". `man
-k dhcp` returned "nothing appropriate". I have not dug around on the
web yet. I often stumble around like this with administrivia, so its
no big deal.

Thanks again.
