<p>Thanks for sharing your experience Bruce. I am going to use OpenVZ and hope
it'll work fine. Is ESXi free or costs license, just in case OpenVZ won't work.
The client I worked for, who was using OpenVZ had pretty moderately busy
asterisk servers and didn't have any issues with it.<o:p></o:p></p>
