VMs

What is the best VM software for not only LAMP servers but for a few application light systems? Is it VMware Server? And what about Virtuozzo or OpenVZ.

I’m leaning towards VMware since it’s free but Virtuozzo has some great support included for all installed OSs and has less overhead. OpenVZ is also free but I’ve only heard of it until recently.

About the Author, Dan Cameron:

I'm the owner and solution engineer at Sprout Venture, a web solutions company that specializes in web development including WordPress.

I started my first blog in 2003 and transitioned to WordPress in 2004. Since moving to WordPress I've written a few plugins and themes for public consumption. Lately I'm busy engineering/building/coding and have only been able to share a few code snippets.

If you're in need of some web development, web design or custom WordPress plugins and/or themes contact me, I'll be happy to discuss it with you.
