Can anyone offer informed comments on the relative merits of
choosing xen over vmware server, or vice versa? The target OS
would all be CentOS4.2 or later as they become available. The host
hardware would all be 2.8GHz i86-P4 with 250 GB IDE drives and 2 GB
RAM.
Regards,
Jim

Thank you all very much for this informative discussion. I get the digest version of the list but, in the interests of world peace, I have manually added the appropriate in-reply-to threading header. Please forgive me if the attempt fails. Regards, Jim -- *** e-mail is NOT a secure channel *** James B.
