"You really need <some other OS> as the host OS" is a perfectly valid response too.
I run VMware Server on Ubuntu (one of the supported Linux host flavours, and the only one I'm prepared to put up with), hosting currently two Windows Server 2003 and two FreeBSD 6.x VMs on a Dell 1855 blade. While I haven't performed any benchmarks (benchmarks inside a VM are tricky to get right) I can report no noticable performance problems with the workload the machines have to handle. The Windows machines are a small fileserver and a WSUS server; the FreeBSD machines are performing spam-assassination and NFS serving. vmware1$ uptime 16:27:45 up 66 days, 5:17, 1 user, load average: 0.27, 0.56, 0.54 I have a FreeBSD-based PXE server running in Workstation 5.5 on my desktop, and have had success running FreeBSD 4.x under ESX Server 2.5.x in a previous life. /JMS _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
