hear pops, cracks, hisses and all sorts of other fun noises. DMTF also

prompts.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>

VMWare<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Has any one put a production Unity server on VMWare? I'm
guessing it's not curretly supported, but just wondering if anyone
had.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm thinking I might do it. Unity is pretty much hw un-aware so it
would give me more redundancy then my single box.</DIV>
