[qmailtoaster] Re: Security

[Eric Shubert]

As you're aware, there is some tuning involved with VMs. Please visit 
the wiki vmware page (http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/VMware) and 
let us know what you think. It's presently under construction, but I 
think Phil and I have a good start on it.

Thanks to all for the input,
My boss has this Idea that we could put Atomic Linux on all of our 
serevrs, not true so far.
Qmail and One installation of RHEL 5 just do not like it.

As for the VM`s, there is some over head, but geta decent enough server 
with tons of RAM and its working jast as goo if not better than stand 
alone servers. Our biggest is a Dell with 8 CPU`s ( not cores ) and 32Gb 
RAM

Thanks again.

Great for development, but I'm not sold on them for production hosts. 
I haven't actually used them at all, but my understanding is that 
performance suffers. Much like using an overlay filesystem.

Aren't snapshots GREAT!!!

BTW: For anyone using VM with Windows domain controllers, DO NOT 
snapshot DCs!  Very bad juju happens when the old version comes back.
