Not necessarily. A software shop may set up one or multiple GSX servers to provide development and/or testing environments.

Assuming server-only guest OSes under GSX isn't a valid assumption.

You would not use GSX to host a Windows XP or Vista image, though. It's a server level product.

gsx doesn't get support for linux disto's as much as workstation or
other os's for that matter - wkstn has support for vista, gsx i don't
think does, can't boot off a ghost image,  just two off the top of my
hat - I am more used to esx and workstation though so a little biased

Blah. It's just as full featured as Workstation. And no, it's not as
full featured as ESX, but unless you're running a datacenter, need
virtual VLANs, need failover and HA, ESX is overkill.

Plus, GSX supports more OS's than ESX right now. You can't install RHEL4
under ESX yet, for example.

cnet i think it was reported that VMWare was going to free up GSX
server only - sometime this week and they didn't have any details of
the licensing

gsx ends up being their middle fo the road product, not as
flexible/full featured/robust as either their workstation product for
flex or esx for stability or 1 to many ratio

VMWare is going to be giving away VMware Server. I can't really find out much about it (use wise). Is this something that a developer could use?
And what about VMWare Workstation (which is not free, I AFAIK)?

Thanks,
