I’ve been using both Debian and Ubuntu on both server and desktop for some years now, but I think it’s time to try something new so I’m not getting stuck and reject everything that’s new (not that I tend to!). I think I’ll have a closer look on FreeBSD: installation, updating, etc. – seen from a Debian/Ubuntu user’s point of view.

Yesterday I wrote an entry regarding ESXi. More precisely I described how to try VMware ESXi in VMware Workstation. My argument was on one side to try ESXi out (I’ve never installed nor tried it) and on the other side investigate whether it was a product I would use.

I’m using the Grayband theme by http://www.smartertemplates.com. This worked fine i Firefox 2.0.0.16, but in IE 6.0 (Internet Explorer 6.0) the sidebar with widgets on the right side first started when the posts was finished: it got pushed down to the bottom of the page. It’s a variant of the famous float-problem in the brower-interoperability-world (so to speak). Actually a lot of themes suffers of this problem – it’s not just the Grayband.

Yesterday VMware ESXi became free (not as i beer but as in money), and I had to try it – initially in VMware Workstation 6. You need Intel VT (or AMD-V) to run ESXi!
