If you want a free medium-duty server use their new Server beta, it's great! > Can be this project useful in order to "mix" with OpenSSI and then offer > virtualization+cluster ?(like XEN but think that better) ... I doubt it, because ESX is somewhat like a hypervisor in that it requires low-level access to the hardware; it has its own kernel. I tried to do something with the Server beta but could never get OpenSSI to work with DRBD. So I gave up and installed Heartbeat.
