The new version of GSX, 3.0 supports PXE booting. I'm building some new =
servers on it now and I like it.

Yes, but also ESX 2.1 is due out very soon. From what I have been told, =
ESX
2.1 is supposed to support PXE boot. Very nice for those that have the HP
RDP software, or other PXE-compliant RDP (like RIS).

Here's the down and dirty...
The main difference is that ESX does not have a host operating system, and
GSX does. (Technically, ESX runs on a modified Redhat 7.3 microkernel).
GSX installs like a normal application on Windows 2000 or 2003 (or Linux),
and you build your virtual machines there.
ESX installs on an empty machine and manages its own everything.
GSX is cheaper than ESX. If you don't know Linux, then use GSX. If your
budget is tight, use GSX.
If you want to build a big badass farm for production on a few huge boxes,
use ESX.
FWIW, they also just announced a new version of GSX, so I guess you could
say it currently has their latest technology.

A few weeks ago the was a discussion about the merits of using VMware.
I'm
looking into it and am wondering what are major differences between ESX =
and
GSX. I'm looking at using it in a development/test environment.
Which
would you recommend?
