Yes they will work on all versions. ESX 3.5 actually supports VMI, which is turned on per default in DL. This should give it a nice performance boost. VMWare Server 2.0 will also support this, but is still in beta (and beta 1 doesn't run very good). > I seem to recall the VM modules are broken in DL 1.3. Is that still > true?
