This is company use, but we're a small enterprise. My primary concern is reasonable performance & stability. I'll be running a WinXP guest to access a couple of proprietary management tools (one of which is, ironically, VMWare's ESXi manager), possibly CentOS and/or RHEL periodically, under Debian. > Either for the few features it has over VirtualBox > > or for the same reasons Red Hat or SUSE has dominating market share in > Servers, Corporate Licensing and Support Packaging. Frankly, it's dealing with license keys and kernel mods (this is a custom build) that are putting me off VMWare. Assuming I can get the images up (initial attempts so far result in an unbootable WinXP image -- I'll post sundry details to an appropriate list later if I can't sort that). -- Dr. Ed Morbius, Chief Scientist / | Robot Wrangler / Staff Psychologist | When you seek unlimited power Krell Power Systems Unlimited | Go to Krell! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
