Having shelled out the $3700 for ESX Server ourselves, it'd be interesting to see how this performs in comparison for lighter duty servers.

I've been working on using VMWare server for consolidating my file and printer server. I've been using Ubuntu server, but I would love to have a version specially built for this type of task.

I have been on the fence between raw debian and ubuntu for some time, I really wish more distros would done something like ubuntu LTS. Debian patches distros for years and years, so running stock debian vs ubuntu lts, is not gonna be significantly different.

A purpose built distro just for virtualization using Xen, VMware, or OpenVZ is a great thing. Especially if its something you can buy w/support.

VMWare coined this term on their developers blogs in July...seems like they've 'borrowed' it.

rPath has been doing JeOS from the beginning of their existence (2 years now).

Next thing you know Canonical will release an rBuilder like application.

Running VMWare Server on top of it, with VM guests inside. With it's smaller footprint, there's less host overhead compared to running it on Server 2003 or a full version of SuSe.
