I'm sure VMWare is cool and all but this ad is retarded. No original ideas? Come on. Boring.

Ronar2006 please see my reply to optikool. ESX is not Linux. It uses Linux as its console. The hypervisor (this does the virtualization) is its own kernel. Actually ESX 3i doesn't even use the console any longer and fits into about 32MB. So, ESX is NOT Linux.

Actually optikool, ESX 3i is VMWare's embedded solution and it is not based on RHEL or any other Linux. It is it's own kernel. Regular ESX 3.5 hypervisor is not based on RHEL either. That is a common misconception. The hypervisor is it's own kernel. Linux is used for the console. You do install ESX on the bare metal though.

VMware has utility to do daily backup using image capture. So if you backup that image capture you can move that image to another physical server and have your virtual server running within minutes.

But.. What happens if the physical server housing three virtual ones go down... Three flies die in one smack. Still need backup servers to fall back on.

Mac x86 OSes work in VMware VMs and have for years, but Apple didn't give legal permission to do so, therefor 'Not Supported"
