>IIRC, GSX is Linux with custom kernel modules but ESX is it's own
kernel.  I think it was based on FreeBSD way back when they founded
VMWare.. no idea if they pull things from the FreeBSD of today. 

GSX can run on Windows 2K+ or Linux AFAIK.
ESX runs a cutdown version of what appears to be Redhat 7.x 

Also, GSX seems to run on almost any hardware while ESX was VERY picky
about what it ran on - it only runs on SCSI disks BTW...

I have installed and used both ESX & GSX and they are VERY impressive
products. 

I was told by the VMWARE rep that a VMWARE virtual machine could be
moved "on-the-fly" across a SAN without shutting it down! Haven't tested
this yet though!
