Greetings from Windows XP via VMware ESX Server 3i
« on: December 20, 2009, 07:20:42 pm »
I inherited a Dell PowerEdge 6450 (four P3 Xeon processors 4GB RAM - RAID 5) from an equipment retirement at work. It was headed to the dump so it came home with me. I set up the box and got VMware installed. Loaded up Windows XP and here I am. Next install is a Linux distro.



I am looking to get as many installs on the VMware box as possible and start the hack lab.

Loaded up Ubuntu "Jaunty Jackalope". I love how they name the distros.

Spent the day between the Ubuntu install and getting the Color Clarseic to come back to life. I had a minor power supply issue but she's running again. Played Lemmings for a bit.

Hope everyone had a great New Year Day!
