[lug] Linux | VMware | Xen question..

[Jeffrey Siegal]

VMWare has recognized that basic virtualization has become a 
commodity...that's why they now offer both the VMWare Player (pretty 
much the full Workstation product, minus the ability to create new VMs, 
but there are third party solutions to do this) and VMWare Server (which 
previously was their low-end server solution; the name escapes me at the 
moment) for free.
