VMware ESXi OS.

Hello.

VMware ESXi is type-1 hypervisor, but can it use any OS for boot? If yes, what is its name? I know type-1 hypervisor don't use any OS normally, but how about device drivers and....

Thank you.

ESXi has its own OS - the VMKernel - included.

Thus, the VMKernel is an OS? Something like GNU/Linux?
