You could use the 60 days evaluation version of ESXi 4.0 for testing. A small hurdle is that you need supported hardware, at leasts a supported NIC. Once in a while, when I can't use my ESX servers in the university's cluster, I use an ESXi installed on an USB flash drive with my notebook that has a supported Intel NIC. Storage is provided via NFS then. Matthias -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
