[cod] COD4 on Virtual Machines?

[Lars Vik]

Hi Dallas,

Yes, I tried to download the Cod2 appliance you had posted on the VMWare 
site, a week ago or so, but the torrent were dead, I think... Anyway, 
are you using Xen or VMware these days? I am currently evaluating EXS 
Server 3.02, but I am also concidering Xen. Not exclusively for COD 
hosting of course. Have you tried both hypervisors, and in that case, do 
you have an opinion towards the one or the other?

Regards,

Lars
