The only problem we had with it was due to the time drifting... Because the VM does not run 100% of the time, the clock can fall behind. This was especially apparent on Fedora...

I remember reading about clock drift, but not how to fix it. That's useful, thanks... :)
I didn't run it very long. I just wanted to see how well it worked, with view to setting up a "disaster recovery" image so that if our Hobbit server crashed and burned I'd be able to fire up a copy *really* quickly on any available hardware, such as my laptop. Given that the server is a single-733MHz-cpu DL380, I figured a VMWare instance on a 2GHz laptop ought to be able to keep up fairly well. :)
