What's in your Virtual Machine lab?

[ali.emirlioglu at gmail.com (Ali Emirlioglu)]

For my malware lab, I've got Windows XP unpatched, Debian 5.0 as BIND, IRCd,
etc. server, BackTrack4b for attacking and sniffing, and Windows 2003
unpatched to see if malware infects over virtual network. Very simple build
but has thought me a great deal and has helped with my school projects
immensely...

On my MBP, I've got OS X with VMWare fusion running Windows 7 in Unity
mode...
I plan to get into using DVL soon...
