VMWare Server - do you mean the free version?

I don´t have any experience with VMWare, but can I run MS SQL Server in 
the free version?

This means you use rdesktop to connect to W2K3 which runs in VMWare on 
the same machine, right?

I would only need the other machine to run SQL Server.
The question is now if a professional VMWare software would be more 
expensive than an additional W2K3 server running SQL Server and would
provide me the same speed.

I should use VMWare Server to run my windows client application on the 
linux machine, which would have a better load balance if I understand 
you right.

Sorry for the basic questions, but im just getting started....

Thanks for the help

best regards
