vCenter for Linux?

[cwebb00]

Is there a vCenter for Linux download available from VMware?  I assume VMware does not offer this as I so not see it as a download option.  However, I have read in various locations that it was to be released (perhaps 3rd party?).

as of today, the only supported Host OS is Windows for vCenter

VMware vSphere Compatibility Matrixes

There is no current version of vCenter for Linux.  There was a tech preview like two years back, but nothing has happened publically since.

Anyone who could comment about its existence would be bound by an NDA.

Yeah I don't think making a Linux version of vCenter is a priority for VMWare.

If they were moving towards creating a Linux version I don't think they would have made ADLDS a core component is 4.0.  With Virtual Centre 2.5 it would have been a lot easier.

Hopefully it may happen with a later release through.  It would be great to deploy vCenter as a vApp.
