Hello,

I would hope so, but there has been no new preview in at least 6 months. Still waiting on a new preview.

I would really like this as well... I wonder what the holdup is. vCenter for Linux 2.5 Technology Preview was announced back in Februrary 09, and it's now August. At the time VMware stated that future versions of vCenter would support Linux, but vCenter 4 has been release without a linux version (at least none that I'm aware of). Hmm...
