VMWare Server? :P

Yeah, a few of us were noting and thinking about that. The biggest
problem...how do we get in? The front entrance locks at 8PM, and the
ER folks would probably find it odd (to say the least) to see a bunch
of non-employee, non-patient people shuffling through.

Otherwise, yeah, the place would make for an amazing meetup location.
The A/C to table ratio is a little low, but it looks like most of the
people who've been showing up have far better battery lives than
mine...

Whee. Someone needs to set up a "will it blend"-esque blog or vlog for
putting Linux on things.
