I still have to have an OS to run in the VM, and I then I'd need more hardware resources to handle the VM. If I run something like Fedora in the VM, I still have to deal with major version upgrades at least once per year, which is a PITA. To me, it looks like RHEL is fine for running slow-to-update proprietary apps (such as Oracle), but not so much for the faster-moving open source software. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
