[Tools] New! VMware Server is now free!

In addition to the already free VMWare Player, VMware has just announced that they will now offer VMware Server for free.  While targeted at "users new to server virtualization technology," VMware Server may meet the basic virtualization needs of a lot of us.  VMware hopes that most serious users will ultimately migrate upwards to their more enterprise-level products.  For details, see the VMware Server Beta FAQ.

 

If you want to be able to run Windows and Linux operating systems and applications on the same physical server - whether for testing, debugging, or other purposes - you will probably want to have a look at VMware's not-so-little gift, VMware Server.
