I'm testing the esxi because I'd like to use it at a school that has 5 labs (125pc's) so I can easily roll out another image to it once a semester or training program is over.

We're using ESXi for our clusters... works a treat. For just playing around tho, I'd use a "desktop" type of deal, instead of ESXi, as you're going to have to drop into the "hidden" ESXi console to do much cool stuff (like copying virtual machines, standing up existing images, etc.). They *really* want you to upgrade to their pro tools, basically. Which are mind-blowing, BTW-- but not cheap. =] -- To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.
