Setting up MOSS with Virtualization (from Scrath)

From Scratch you say? Well that means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. As an example, if you consider Jello Instant Pudding home cooking (from scratch) we may be on different pages here. I have just built a new development box, i.e. bought all the components, strapped on the old trusty aniti-static wristband and went to town. Lo and behold, after a three hour fury-ridden battle with technology, a new box was born...

And what will that new box do? House a 'virtualized' MOSS 2007 server farm of course ;)

This begins a series of posts I will put up in the next few months documenting the entire process (hopefully w/ screencasts and all). Hopefully? Yeh, things are good w/ technology these days, and so I'm handling two major projects, along with balancing two young boys who mainly see me as a sparring partner. How many web parts can one code while enduring side kicks and rear naked chokes? Stay tuned... I'll let you know.
