That nice for you :) But I do not have that luxury. I run several Debian 
machines on iron and not in a cluster.
That may be a risc but... Debian has been very stable and the hardware has a 
good reputation and support contract. In the past 10 years we have had only 2 
incidents at all our sites that were "inconvenient". Trying to get it all 
running in a cluster on virtual hardware would have probably created more 
problems than it would have solved due to increased system management. :-(

All other stuff does indeed run virtualized on a VMware platform, just not the 
stuff we primarily use Debian for. ;-)
