If I wanted to run F13 I would have to install it as a guest. I could also install the SIFT client as another guest. Probably a ragged analogy, but that would make ESXi rather like a CaTV settop box that allows me to watch any installed guest I want?? --Doc -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
