Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Long Term Support) Desktop and Server Editions are now available !

If you want to run Ubuntu VM guests you might be very interested in Ubuntu Server Edition JeOS or if you want a lightweight Ubuntu for old low spec hardware (ie PII with 256M of RAM) you could try Xubuntu !

VMware is worth $17B because their technology enables the dream of utility (or grid) computing. By eliminating the operating system as a bottleneck for attaching applications to computers, applications can now run flawlessly on any computer that has the VMware hypervisor as the bottom layer -- with no expert resources required for testing, porting, stabilization, etc.

rPath™, provider of the first platform for creating and maintaining software and virtual appliances, today announced its one millionth software appliance download. Sources of the one million downloads of rPath-based appliances include rBuilder Online, as well as partner sites such as VMware’s Virtual Appliance Marketplace (VAM).

I'm now trying MEMSET virtual web hosting and its looking very good so far.

WHM/CPANEL has changed (improved) a lot since I last used it two years ago (when I defected to Plesk).

Not only does the MEMSET reseller package give you ssh root access to your VM you also get ability to update Fantastico yourself and update key system packages such as wget !

If fact the very first thing you have do using WHM (and by ssh as root) is update wget

# rpm -qa wget ;
# wget ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/wget-1.10.2-3.2.1.i386.rpm ;
# rpm -e wget ;
# rpm -ivh --force wget-1.10.2-3.2.1.i386.rpm ;
# rpm -qa wget ;

and then update Fantastico !

Not for VM webhost beginners then but power equals complexity !
