There isn’t a traditional power-on switch on ATX computer power supplies so if you need to test one you need to jumper two pins on the power supply cable. You can use a bent paper clip to act as the jumper. Jumper the green and black wires which are pins 13 and 14 on a 20-pin ATX power supply. More details about ATX power supply wiring can be found at this link.

VMWare Server Black Screen Problem
With the Linux version of VMware Server there is a bug where only the person that created a virtual machine can see its window in the VMware client program.

chmod +x theGuestVMwareMachine.vmx
