Do you mean move a VM Guest from a Windows Host running VMware server/GSX to a Red Hat Host? Sure, that's easy to do, but you may want to be more specific so we don't guess at what you want to do.
No, I don't think that's what I mean. I want to shut down a virtual machine running a windows server. Then copy the virtual server files off the vmware windows host and copy the individual virtual server itself over to a redhat machine running vmware. Does that make better sense? I wouldn't think so because most of the files are binary. I am going to try anyway. Maybe there is a conversion utility to do this...
To answer my own question, you CAN move a virtual machine from a windows host to a linux host. I have to believe you can move one the other way too. So all is well, I have windows server running faster on a redhat host then on windows, go figure duh...
I just moved one of my virtual machine from a Windows host to a Linux host. I tried both RHEL5 and Ubuntu7.04 Server. Both of them worked flawlessly. But we decided to go with Ubuntu. It runs with only 100MB memory and 1GB for system overhead. Can't ask for more than that.
