We use xenserver at work, it is the dog's danglies for what we need. I use VirtualBox on my work desktop tor testing stuff though, its nice.

Just to let you know I am FED-UP with VMWare - Server!! I have been wrestling with it on Ubuntu and other distros for TOOOOO long now!! The latest is just the final straw!! I have redone my PC to have 10.4 on and loaded VMServer on (with all the patches!! I found on the internte to get it installed), but then the Console could not be used to open VMs and had to use RDC / VNC etc. I have followed numerous "fixes" but none seem to work: Downgrade Firefox from 3.6.xx to 3.5.xx did not work Extracting and installing the remote console separately did not work ETC. And then with every new version of FF or Linux kernals / headers you have to hope and pray all will reconfigure!!! Now I am switching to VirtualBox! Hopefully this will provide a solution, I am a GUI person so KVM is still a bit too much for me if you have to every time make use of a CLI, I guess there are GUIs for it but VirtualBox seems to be easy enough to not take too much time of my daily routine. The big box still run ESXi though... -- _________________________________________ Cornelius Mostert Senior IT Specialist United Kingdom: 075 2233 4818 International: 0044 75 2233 4818 </div></div>-- <a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/</a> </blockquote> -- <a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/</a> </blockquote></div>
