What is the general feeling about the type 1 true hypervisor from VMWare , their ESX Server, and Xen as a hypervisor ? Other than free v''s pay for it of course. I originally was of the opinion the VMWare Workstation, their original offering wasnt great as it had the host o/s layer, however this type 1 seems quite nice. I do wish their naming convention was easier to understand - what component of an enterprise set up is what for example :) -- Stephen Johnston 8 Lime Grove Tel. +44 (0)1506 437766 Craigshill Mob. 07786 733 150 Livingston West Lothian www.fluffyrodent.co.uk EH54 5FB
