Jep.  That answers my question nicely :-)
Actually I presumed it is VMware Server, as that is their "free" product.

If running DL on ESX, you don't have a choice... and it really doesn't 
matter, as it works perfectly.

Thanks!

a side note: When ever you upgrade to Sagator 0.9.0, when it is ready, 
you will have to add quite a lot more stuff to DL.  Sagator 0.9.0 has an 
optional nice WebUI for quarantine management/requeueing/etc.
