I've seen several references to running VMWare under CentOS, but does anybody know how well Parallels runs under CentOS?
Parallels is Mac only.
There is a version of Parallels for Linux too.
Ah. The google add sent me directly to the mac version (and me a ppc), with only a small url to the main page. :/
I think the VMware workstation is more mature, but costs more $$$
Also, if I read the specs correctly, Parallels require VT/Pacifica, whilest VMWware doesn't. (Xen also requires those, for HVM guests):
Xen is really for those who are willing to get their hands dirty. VMware server is free and runs well.
I agree completly. Alas, my budget doesn't allow testing of Xen enterprise solutions (VirtualIron and Xen Enterprise), so I don't know how they compare to ESX.
Has anyone given those a try?
