[cod] COD4 on Virtual Machines?

[Dallas Crandall]

Lars,
You can download the cod2 server for vmware at
http://www.300cpilot.com/download/cod2_dsl.rar  (approx. 178 megs) it is
zipped up using winrar, if you want to use it on a linux host you will want
to decompress it on a windows machine first. When you boot it up just follow
the instructions on the webpage that comes up and you will have a COD2
server running in under 5 minutes. To modify the game type's, maps or what
ever please refer to the included webpage for instructions, anything not
included in the website you can always drop me a email.

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
