Virtual Machine Hardware Profile: Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2
Virtual Server 2005 is based on the original work done by Connectix to build Virtual PC. It has some major drawbacks, including lack of 64bit client support. But it is FREE, and can be used to run linux in a Microsoft server environment. It had a very long beta period, and basically never reached maturity in the eyes of the industry as Microsoft moved right on to Hyper-V and cpu based hypervisor virtualization methods. This program is a great solution for a smb who maybe running older equipment but want to start a transition to a virtualized environment.
