![]() ![]() What hardware do you intend to run this on Fusion can only run on a mac, and regardless of the spec, this still isnt a good idea as its a type-II hypervisor, this option is not right for production use. The VM needs to be running sendmail, dovecot, procmail, samba, mysql, and the disto needs to be hardened for good security. Best Linux Distro for mail server as Vmware guest. What are your thoughts? The server needs to support about 100 users inside the LAN only, no external access, it needs at least 500 GB of storage, and a shared pool of 4GB of memory and shared CPU time. Most of my experience has been on Redhat / Fedora / CentOS, but lately it seems like yum updates lag behind the latest updates of base packages, which is why I am considering other platforms. I am curious, for other vmware shops out there, is there a particular distribution that has worked better than others running as a vmware guest? Any particular Distributions that have issues patching updates? I'm slowly moving our server infrastructure from openvz to Vmware Fusion. We have an internal mail server that is used for storage and archiving of email long term that's currently an openvz guest running CentOS 5.11 (final) that has now been deprecated.
