Walden:

You are correct ... VMWare server only has the ability to do a single
checkpoint.  Workstation can manage multiple checkpoints.

As long as you don't need complex checkpoint capability, VMWare server
is a great product.

For me, the single checkpoint is fine ... I build a virtual machine up
to a stable point and checkpoint it.  Then I can install stuff on it,
see how it works, and rollback the changes if it's not working right.
