Re: Partitioning and Windows Servers?

  When the iSeries first support Linux I thought that I would beable 
to install a RedHat kernel and put VMWare on it.  Plop a bunch of 
windows servers on that LPAR under VMWare ESX server (their Linux 
version) and I'd be all set.  Dump the FSIOP/Integrated Netfinity/IXS 
cards.

Figures, VMWare has a specialized kernel that isn't supported in the 
iSeries...
