Entries from Eric Sloof

Af en toe ben je wel eens benieuwd wat het googelen naar je eigen naam oplevert. Nadat ik dit weer eens gedaan had, kwam ik erachter dat het alweer negen jaar geleden is dat ik de virtuele gokkast van Radio 538 had gekraakt, deze hack werd destijds gepubliceerd door Francisco van Jole in de Daily Planet. Het hacken begon overigens al veel eerder aangespoord door het blad Hacktic waarvan ik het eerste exemplaar uit 1989 nog steeds in mijn boekenkast heb staan. Hieronder staan de beide artikelen uit de DAILY PLANET van donderdag 19 september 1996.

This new book is updated for all the new versions of VMware products. It is based on VMware Workstation version 5 and all the tips and procedures have been updated for this latest version.
New topics include: Multiple Snapshots, Teaming virtual machines and Linux installation and configuration. There is also a section that introduces VMware ACE.

The sections covering Physical to Virtual conversion and Clustering have been updated with new techniques and they now cover new information on the complete range of VMware products, including ACE v1, GSX Server v3.2 and ESX Server v2.5.
For P2V you will find updated information on imaging techniques that can be used to copy physical machines into virtual machines. Including information on how to restore Windows and Linux machines that reside on IDE hard disks inside virtual machines with SCSI disks, such as on VMware ESX Server. The tools that I cover for P2V have been updated to include Acronis TrueImage for Windows (including server versions) and freely available Linux tools and default commands to copy a machine into a virtual machine directly via the network.

Tutorial for Administrators, Intermediate and Advanced Level
