Check out this topic on the VMTN forum by Gabrie. It’s a good read about how many vm’s one would dare to run on an ESX host. TexiWill: This really depends. I know companies that are doing no more than a 10:1 or 20:1 compression, but there are other companies with 50+ VMs running on one box (at the time [...]
The current OLPC is an okay gadget, it’s decent and pretty cool. The new design of the second generation isn’t cool… it’s outrages! Take a look at this blog, it’s a combination of a laptop, e-ink and a Nintendo DS. All I can say is, send me a prototype and I’ll be happy to test it and write a review.

This could be confirmed in VirtualCenter cause all VM’s were registered on either the first or the second host. I could not double [...]
I’ve been disconnected from the internet the last couple of days because of a UPC screw up. So I missed out on all the SRM blogging. I am just reading all the new blogs that were created over the last couple of days. Here are just a couple random thoughts… The SRM docs talk about a “proteced” and a “recovery” [...]
