So you have my curiosity. I've talked with Nathan a little about this several weeks ago, however I'm more curious. I visited their website however it did not provide enough info. I worked for a hosting company that used virtuozzo to create VPS's. They would put 150 or so per server and I was told 80 was more reasonable. I seem to recall someone saying you can over allocate resources. I suspect that means if I have a gig of ram I can allocate 512M to 3 Vmachines. So how is VMware different that virtuozzo? And more importantly, I do PHP/MySql development and have a dev server on my private net. How would I use VMware to help me with PHP/MySql development? Thanks, Keith Nathan England wrote: All, Has anyone used VMware Workstation and the free Server? I am wondering if there are any differences, or if you've noticed any difference between the two and how they work on your linux box running different guest os's. I use Workstation 5 and love it, but I'm wondering if there is any benefit to running Server instead, other than the cool web interface. nathan -- -------------------------------------------------------------- PaysonLinux User Group Community Based Linux Support http://www.paysonlinux.org/ Business Consulting Services, Advanced Network and Server Design, Security Solutions, Process Management and Efficiency Consultations --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss - - - - - - - Keith Smith - - - - - - - http://netcodeman.com/ - - - - - - - --------------------------------- Have a burning question?
