VMWare usually makes me want to kick someone. That makes me even more irritated. Can't be that hard to be cross platform. -

Hello. Good to see you too. I've definitely been in and out over the last 6 months. -

You can run an image as a VM that gives you a web based client. I think you need ESXi 5.5, and we run 5.0 at work. -

I forgot that there is a web based client for ESX. But it only works for later versions than I use. I've also connected with VNC on a Mac -

Right. They want you to depend on their platform so it's easier to pay than switch. That attitude of lock-in is throughout the software. -

OK. ESX and vSphere are not the same. vSphere is not free. You may be able to get it for free, but I expect sooner or later you'll have .. -

OK. I've never tried to build a VM from the command line in ESX. Although I've done it with KVM plenty of times. -

If you have limited hosts and don't need to migrate VMs, vSphere is OK. But I can't find it for download on VMWare's site anymore. -

At work I use the vSphere client to manage VMs which used to be free but you can't get it anymore. It's pretty limited too. -

ESXi is completely free as in beer. But it's not very useful without the paid part. I'm not sure you can even build a VM with just ESXi. -

You are a fine gentleman to go to such trouble. -

ESXi not much like Linux. Command line tools are poor. File system is FAT based. They expect you to do all from the GUI. -

VMware works, but it's severely limited if you don't have money to spend. I use KVM at home but have 2 ESXi hosts at work. -

No the Patriots won. But their is some thing about their balls being deflated. That may have been terrorists. -

It's on the TV. The "Patriots" of New England versus the bird team from somewhere else. Bird team was not victorious. -

And Christmas, really. It's a celebration of all the money our corporations made on Black Friday. Plus some pagan tree worship. -

Yes. I guess the fact that traffic is encrypted is more important than third party trust. -
