Hi list,

I have been considering using vmware instead of bsd jails for a virtual
server provider. Jails are far too limited (1 ip only, quotas = per-jail
fs,etc). I have never tried vmware with freebsd as a guest os, so I don't
know if these limitations would apply..

What are your personal experiences ? Does vmware work flawlessly with
freebsd as a guest OS ? (host will be freebsd 5.2.1) Should I stick to
jails instead? Any suggestions welcome!

Regards
