[MLB-WIRELESS] Server Virtualisation - (was RE: possible vpn

[mw at freenet.net.au]

G'day!

VMWare is defacto 'industry standard' these days.  It is good solid
software, it is supported, and it is efficient, secure and easy to use.

Besides, it is what I am familiar with, and I have never used anything else
other than eval.  IMHO VMware beats anything else similar, and that's why
*I* have been talking about it - why others have been also talking about it,
they will speak for themselves ;-)

Cheers!

Mike.
