We’ve been running VMWare Server 2.0 on top of a CentOS box for a while now but it could not really cope, especially as we are limited to 32bit CentOS for other application reasons which always meant upgrading the hardware was mostly pointless.
This finally got to breaking point over the summer so we started planning an upgrade. The release of ESX4i as a free version was a deciding factor although we did evaluate both VirtualBox and XenServer. The biggest problem in leaving the Linux based VMWare Server to a bare metal hypervisor is that you don’t have the luxury of broad hardware support.
