Hi Dale,

Well, now that you ask, I am not so sure that ESXi is running a Linux
kernel... When I ssh in, I get a busybox shell and there are many
Linuxy traits, but nothing that actually says Linux, so maybe not...

I think that the older VMWare ESX system did use a Linux kernel.

So, thanks of the correction on that...

cheers,

Bob Edwards.
