Keep in mind there are 3 grades of VMWare: 1) Workstation (requires hosting OS of Windows or Linux) 2) VMware-GSX (requires hosting OS of Windows or Linux) 3) VMware-ESX (runs native on the bare metal) Serious server implementations should consider only GSX or ESX, and if it's important workload, ESX is the way to go (it is also AFAIK the only VMware variant that supports more than one virtual CPU in a virtual machine, currently max of 2). Overhead for networking-intensive systems is much lower on the Linux-hosted versions (and on ESX) than on the Windows-hosted versions (in my experience). VMWare also seems much more stable hosted on Linux. -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
