I started the UC apps on VMware Server 2, then after a year migrated to
ESXi.
Performance is much better. On Server 2, which I ran on top of Ubuntu
Linux, sometimes the VM's were sluggish, but enough to study with. On ESXi,
I don't notice that sluggishness.
Also, you could run your Windows OSes
ESXi is loaded via a keyboard and mouse in this situation, after that is
complete, everything else has to be completed remotely. You first go to a
web page, get the VM client, install client and begin installing your
Virtual Machines (VM's) that is it. You might want to play with shared
resources
This seems like a doable solution. to dualboot from the bios.
In terms of quantifying the cost-benefit of going into a ESX environment,
what would you say the advantages are?
That is, in terms of speed, is it about 20% faster than a windows platform?
Just trying to put it in numbers to justify t
Yes you should be able to dual boot, I doubt that the boot loaders would
work but you could use the BIOS controls to select the boot device. Some
systems like Dell/HP ect let you pick the boot device from a menu.
So if I was doing this, I would load windows on 1 disk, disconnect that
disk, instal
I know ESX would be the fastest but I'd like to be able to use the box for
other things occasionally.
That being said:
1) are drivers a pain to load on ESX?
2) is there a dual-boot option where I can boot ESX and Windows?

Answering VMWare question.
If you can afford to, go Bare-metal VMWare ESXi.

Last week, the Kingston's 4x 4gb were down to a record low $89 after rebate.
It sold out after two days but I would expect memory prices to keep falling
lower & lower.
