[ale] vmware ESX Server

[Robert L. Harris]

  You are correct.  ESX basically installed a highly modified RedHat linux
with custom kernel on the bare hardware.  It's very low maintenance once it's
up but I'd still firewall the bejesus out of it.


Thus spake Jeff Lightner (jlightner at water.com):
