And also VM's that have open-vm-tools installed.</p> <p>After updating the tools the systems all have been functioning just fine over the last few weeks and the host system has been under less load with more vm's installed.</p> https://fc4c6dbc.haigmail.pages.dev/2008/10/02/looking-to-virtualise-at-home/ Thu, 02 Oct 2008 08:10:33 +0000 https://fc4c6dbc.haigmail.pages.dev/2008/10/02/looking-to-virtualise-at-home/ <p>Ever since vmware made ESXi a free download I have wanted to install and run it at home so I can P to V my systems at home. And save money on electricity. And before you ask I have looked at the Xen and Virtualbox and Kvm solutions but have found them not quite ready fro my prime time.</p> <p>I had been running vmware server in the past with reasonable success.</p>
