A few friends and I were discussing using a virtual machine to run a minecraft server, using VMware Workstation 7. Has anyone had any experience or comments/suggestions about using a VM to host? Also, I'm wondering what version of linux would be best to run it with since I have pretty much any OS to choose from.

Minecraft is only going to use one of those cores at a time, no matter what until Notch finally realizes that people aren't just requesting he make the server software multithreaded because we think it would be worth the lulz.

while i cant offer any advice about virtualization, i can say an ubuntu server is very easy to set up and it's very stable.

Anyone can fly. The secret is to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
