Hey VM Fans,
To keep this short, I'd like to explain my ideal setup and what I have to make it possible:
A virtualization server that can run:
1) an instance of debian 8 configured as a samba server and a plex media server
2) an instance windows 8
3) an instance of Ubuntu with a GUI
All accessible from my laptop.
What I've got:
1) A fairly powerful server (32GB RAM, i7, 128GB SSD, 4TB HD)
2) A laptop
3) A willingness to learn
Is installing ESXi and managing it through Vsphere my best bet here or is there a better option? In this tutorial https://youtu.be/ba3qqJI6ML4 Eli advises against interacting with the instances and says that "ESXi is only for servers". Why is this?
Thank you for any help.
