Re: [orca-list] Any experiences accessing VMware server 2.0 beta?

["Al Puzzuoli" <alpuzz gmail com>]

Hi Janina and others,

I posted a thread expressing my concerns with the 2.0 product in the VMware 
forum:
http://communities.vmware.com/message/977077#977077

If anyone else wants to chime in, I think additional feedback would be a 
good thing.  As of yet, I haven't found any really acceptable solution other 
than backing off a version, or switching to a different virtualization 
product.
