Has anyone attempted to use DSL as the base OS for hosting the free VMware Server? DSL's small footprint would be ideal for keeping resources free for the VMs.

I think this would be rather fine implementation as well.  I've downloaded DSL's LIVECD iso, and am still dorking around with it.  Since i'm not familiar with installing sw on linux, it will take me a while to figure it out, i generally subscribe to the package managers :)

Hi proteus88,
I played a little bit with dsl as base OS for vmware player and I think I got it up and running..  Sure.. It's not vmware Server but I think it's OK.. Probably you could use my manual to make a vmware server dsl cd? I like it to have a little "bootable vmware OS". So I will not try to make vmware Server running in dsl.. Up to now it's pre alpha and round about 100 MB :P
You can boot dsl in RAM-Mode and start your Virtual Machine or you can still run it directly from CD.. Everything no problem.. I tested it with a Windows 3.11 Virtual Machine on my 128 MB USB-Stick.. Seems to be no problem.. Are you interested? I'm sure you can make the iso even smaller and my lousy "hacks" smarter.. But it's pre alpha. So who cares..  :D

greets

Yes, it runs fine, this is a screen shot of Vmware server running on a VM of DSL. It installs with little headaches. Just follow the Vmware directions.
