VMware's Rosenblum: We'll Be Technically Better Than Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| We've typically included a version of Red Hat Linux in ESX Server. That's
| because the hardware manufacturers put little embedded processors to control
| the fans and other elements of their servers. They have agents reporting on
| their operation. They wouldn't write software that would allow those
| processors to interface to ESX Server, but they had to do it for Linux. So we
| shipped a full Red Hat operating system as our management console.
