Hello,
TPTB have decided to upgrade our ageing server (still running mandrake) with a
new system based on vmware ESXi.
I thought I'd install mageia in some of the virtual machines to migrate current
services, but I see that it isn't certified as a guest OS
under vmware ESXi.
I actually don't care, but the vendor has suggested that we stick to one of the
supported distributions.
I don't think that it's because mageia is a community distribution, because I see that
debian, fedora and opensuse are "certified" (as are
the commercial ones like RHEL, SLES, CentOS, etc.).
Maybe nobody got in touch with vmware to have mageia listed as a "certified"
distribution?
Not sure what it matters having it "certified." I run several Mageia server
VMs in ESXi at work and they work great.
And usually certification means €€€ ...
