Virtuozzo Templates for Plesk

Deploying Plesk using the template technology in Virtuozzo will increase the efficiency and density of your server by making the Plesk footprint smaller, thereby allowing you to maximize your number of customer deployments and optimize your business. Templates also simplify the management of Plesk by allowing rapid deployment and quick upgrades.

Will VMWare be the last to create a VM env on FreeBSD ?

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

http://communities.vmware.com/message/876393

VirtualBox (now owned by Sun) is asking for help on their forum. QEMU and its kernel module run on FreeBSD at this moment

and

people in the FreeBSD community raised a bounty (http://www.rsync.net/resources/notices/2007cb.html) to have someone port VMware 6 to FreeBSD.

whichever way you look at it it seems that “official” VMWare/EMC will be the last !
