100%  - and it even has its own proprietary Linux modules that the VMServer 
loads when starting up (virtual nics, hubs / switches, etc).  I just thought 
that linux modules would be able to operate under linux-emu in BSD.  Guess I 
was wrong on that one :-)

But yeah, VMWare Workstation is not really something I'd use in production. 
VMWare Server only Linux / Windows / etc, and then we have the enterprise 
class ESX Server, which is a OS in itself....
