my VMs with separate IP addresses at home – they really make me glad and optimistic

The host is a fat Mac mini running VirtualBox.

A VM with an IP address outside the VM host’s realm behaves like an own “machine” – that’s the very special charm of it.

• the openSUSE000 VM: will run “hibiscus – HBCI-banking for jameica”
• the oracle000 VM runs a modern Oracle Database – supplied entirely by Oracle – just their bad SELinux set-up makes it a little difficult: a home directory outside /home, w/o proper /home rules
• the solaris000 VM: for gathering experience with Oracle’s Solaris – not Open Source, but still great

I would love to have these ones:

• an AIX one, but IBM only offers AIX for PowerPC, don’t they – and they don’t offer them for free, even not for non-productive use
• an SLES one, but SuSE also don’t have a policy for that …

Current problem: looks like the connection to such an VM stalls, as soon as the screen saver gets active. That’s obviously not reasonable for my use-case.
