[itdiscuss] Virtual Machine

[Jeffrey Thompson]

I haven't had a chance to work with it yet but VMware just made VMware  
ESXi available for free and a lot of people say it works great.  I  
prefer VMware because I can run the same VM on my Mac (VMware Fusion)  
as I run on my Ubuntu Linux server (the free VMware Server).

And VMware works perfectly.  I have never had an issue with it, which  
I can't say the same for some of the other VM products.

However, Ubuntu is making a big push on KVM software.  So Open Source  
VMs are making good headway, but I'm not sure they are ready for  
production just yet.
