First make sure you have the latest updates from Vmware on ESX. This caused us all kinds of grief with various tracebacks. Second make sure that they support 5.1 versus 5.0 for install... again we had all kinds of issues during 5.0 early on. Installing 5.0 and then upgrading to 5.1 is how our current ESX 5 systems are running. > We have discovered that Anaconda is *spectacularly* brittle.
