The only > limitation then is the software. The limitation is within ESX. Since I am not an expert I won't try to explain it. I just remember when I setup ESX I had to allocate a certain amount of memory to the ESX console and that was the limitation on the number of OS's I could run. ESX runs on the "bare metal" and I think it is based on Red Hat. Although I bet you could get some ridiculous number of systems by running Solaris zones on top of VMware! > > And stability ?
