Excerpts from the Preface:

Neil Smyth wrote:This Virtuatopia.com online book is intended as both a learning resource and reference guide designed to be of use to new and experienced VMware Server users alike. Comprising 20 chapters of detailed information, the book covers a wide range of topics relating to this entry level virtualization solution.

Review (just a bit, OK?):

This book starts with the overview of virtualization and VMware Server 2.0. From there, it will guide the readers on how to set up VMware Server 2.0 on both Linux and Windows platforms and what guest operating systems are officially supported. Then, it will reveal how to create virtual machines and utilize remote console plugins, VMware Tools, scripts and power states.

The second half of this book deals with managing virtual network achitecture, virtual disks and security.

In conclusion, VMware Server 2.0 Essentials gives a nice roadmap to complete virtualization. Beginners will appreciate this book for showing where, what and how to start their way to virtualization. And for those who are not strangers to virtualization, this book fills up holes and shows what virtualization technology truly capable of.
