VMware is what it looks like. . . I just don't have a lot of experience with it. Does VMware allow for direct access to serial ports? and will it run despite the hardware it's on? in other words, does vmware supply a generic set of hardware in the VM that connects to the actual hardware?

Thanks For the Input!

VMware should allow direct access to serial ports. At least I can access my USB devices directly from my VMs. Yes, VMware supplies the system within the VM with a "generic" virtual computer with very common hardware. Your real hardware does not matter (you need drivers for the host OS of course). For batch jobs performance of guest OS should not be much less than host OS, VMware is quite efficient.

I've been using VMware for some systems which aren't too busy and I'm quite satisfied.
