I have an ESX based server at home, but it's too noisy (nothing to do with ESX, of course) to run continuously, right now. I have plans to fix that. I have another ESX server running as a production server at a hosting site. Not a workstation, of course. And for some reason I can't run two NetBSD instances on the home server where I tried it. Might be something I don't understand. No Windows, that would be no good on a server in my case. I don't know, ESX seems really good, but it has its drawbacks. Needing a Windows console to manage it might be the greatest of these in a workstation situation. ++L
