If you were going to run a business of maintaining Slash sites, by this I mean hundreds of them, you might want to check out the new offerings in the VMware product line [vmware.com] for solutions providers. I know that sounds like a marketing flack talking, sorry.
This would allow you to create a repeatable basic image of a Slash site and deploy it as many times as necessary. I think VMware contemplates this type of use [vmware.com], particularly of its newer product offerings.
I have had good success using VMware for development tasks and office application use on the Windows platform, and I am seriously considering using VMware to test Bender. If you want to read more about my experiences with VMware, check out these stories on ctdata.com [ctdata.com]. --
