I don't think that anyone was talking about HA-Linux and redundant power supplies here, John. It's fairly trivial to set up a separate partition with a fallback OS. I routinely do this with Fedora on one of my machines, and then rotate versions of Fedora between the two partitions as the releases become available. If an update makes the newer version unbootable (extremely rare that you can't just use grub to boot the previous kernel), then there's always the old version to boot into. Having a VM running a server in this environment may not be the absolute best practice, but it's certainly feasible. Dave
