Hi All,

I'm looking for a cheap way to start playing with RAC in my own time. I'd like to run a virtual environment but my current laptop doesn't really have the power.

I know you can't run RAC between multiple Amazon EC2 instances, but what if you rent a single big EC2 instance and then put VMware or Virtual Box on top of that? Is that supported/possible? Or any better ideas for the tightfisted? This is going to be a really light-usage play area.

Many thanks!
Charlotte
