Evening all,

Just a quick question to start with. As per the title im beginning my revision for my server 2k8 exams. I am wondering if the best method for setting up labs is to build a dedicated machine to run the vms (perhaps i could get some exposure to esxi along the way) or to just install vmware of some flavour onto my desktop pc and run the labs that way?

What would people recomend?

If the suggestions are to go for a standalone machine would it be a good idea to look at one of the hp ml115 or to build my own machine?

Cheers

Thanks so much for the replies so far! Great stuff.

Can i ask two more questions -

1. for those running on a stand alone machine what specs are you running for esxi
2. if running a fully virtual setup on your desktop pc which version of vmmare are you using?

Cheers.
