VMware Server approaching final delivery with release candidate 2

Approaching the final launch of its free enterprise-class product, Server (formerly GSX Server), VMware is expanding the list of supported host and guest operating systems.

In this new build (27828) the support has been extended to:

  • SUSE Linux 10.1 as host and guest OS (full support)
  • 32-bit Ubuntu 6.x as host and guest OS (full support)
  • 32-bit Sun Solaris 10.x as guest OS (full support)
  • 32-bit and 64-bit FreeBSD 6.0 as guest OS (full support)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 Update 8 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 Update 4 (experimental support)
  • 64-bit Ubuntu 6.x as host and guest OS (experimental support)
  • 64-bit Sun Solaris 10.x as guest OS (experimental support)

As you can notice the most notable change is the long awaited full support (yes, with VMware Tools) for Sun Solaris 10, initially made available in Virtual Infrastructure 3.
