Well well, it’s been a long time since VMware Server 2.0 beta 1 was released; but finally, the new version is complete and released to the general public!

As said before, VMware Server is great for those of you who are running a Linux or Windows server and are eager to try virtualization. If you’re more serious about it, you might want to consider VMware ESX(i); especially since VMware are giving away ESXi for free now.

As a bonus, the 2.0 release also includes a new build of their VirtualCenter Client. I doubt that there will be any new functions in this release; but there’s nothing wrong in hoping for it? :-) Check out https://servername:8333/client/VMware-viclient.exe or /usr/lib/hostd/docroot/client/Vmware-viclient.exe :-)

Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to add the VMware Sever 2.0 hosts to the VirtualCenter yet… :(

And I guess we’re still stuck with the web interface since the ViC can’t handle version 7 hardware… :(

Well well, on the other hand, I just love free software; don’t you? :-) As long as it’s free, I’m quite capable of swallowing some camels :-)
