I am curious, it is possible to install Astaro over a Red Hat 7.3 server installation. What I means is, is it possible to use Astaro in the same machine as a RH7.3 server ?
You may want to confirm this with the Astaro gurus, but my understanding is your answer is "no." ASL is actually a hardened installation of the entire Linux-Bastille OS, plus firewall, VPN, and WebAdmin software. The whole thing is configured so neither you nor anybody else can install anything *but* ASL on the box.
Lest you think this is somehow unfair, remember you don't want hackers installing packet sniffers, trojans, or bots on your system. . .that's why you put a firewall there in the first place, right?

dmmcfar... how does vmware handle Network stuff? I've heard of it's capabilities of handling multiple OSes.. but how the **** does it handle networking. If one OS says "drop that packet" and the other says "forward that packet".. what happens then!?!
Lunitic means VMWare www.vmware.com which is a great program to run multiple OSes without rebooting. And it is the way I am trying out ASL until I get comfortable with it. And it's not too slow depending on the hardware you're running it on and it's intended use.
