BWHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, wait ... you weren't joking ...
Well, they haven't fixed VMWare tools for the latest RHEL and Fedora for
... what ... almost 6 months now. They "upgraded" VMWare Server, and
now you need a Windows box to administer it.
Not really too encouraging considering WS6 costs about 120 bucks...
I could go on, but I won't. I just switched to other solutions.
Like? I tried VBox and consider it crapware. What else is there?
For me, Solaris Zones combined with ZFS worked like a champ. I can
isolate individual machines in a zone via ZFS without duplicating all
the files repeatedly (Ah, the wonders of copy-on-write ...)
VirtualBox has improved some. I can now run FreeBSD without it spinning
my CPU continuously. I'm still not that happy with them since they hold
the USB system source code hostage--you can download the binary version
with it, but not compile a version from source.
Qemu is the standard choice. On OS X, it's got a pretty nice GUI. I
don't know about Windows.
There is also Xen. My rants about that are recorded. I don't like it;
others think it's great.
And, finally, there is KVM? I don't know much about it.
