Hi I am interested in testing out Vserver...for a particular requirement we have. At the moment we are using VMWare server and it works of a fashion (crashes with heavy Disk IO). Doing a bit of research/reading before I take the plunge and I am a bit confused...in particular - does the GUEST and HOST O/S have to be the same, see point 1) below We need to run RedHat 2.1 for a particular application...and 2.1 will not install on our h/w. So, with out going into the trials and tribualtions of RH 2.1 etc etc can I 1) run RedHat 4 (or 5) as HOST OS - and then run a Vserver guest with RH 2.1? 2) If I can do point 1) above ...can I copy an exsisting RH 2.1 server (from the VMWare guest) to Vserver as outlined in http://wiki.linux-vserver.org/util-vserver:Howto_virtualize_an_exisiting_Lin ux_server <http://wiki.linux-vserver.org/util-vserver:Howto_virtualize_an_exisiting_Li nux_server> or have I completely missed what this article is about Thanks all Peter E-mail Disclaimer: Any personal information in this e-mail must be handled in accordance with the provisions of the Privacy Act 1988 [Cth].
