Hi<div>I can't really comment in detail about hardware. For most stuff ram is probably better to have than CPU in terms of virtualization and fast storage and/or more or at least one controller card for disks.</div><div>
<br></div><div>I run ESXi 5 and intend to update it to 5.1 which should give me the new web based admin. Not sure if that is part of esxi. I run all my VMs on two networks. A private network interconnect between the machines and a "management" network that allows me to be able to ssh to the boxes that is connected to a network card and my home router which also does the dhcp.</div>

Now I finally have some space to setup a home test lab for testing various cobbler related ideas. Currently, my new place has AT&T Uverse Internet service, a 2Wire 3600HGV Router, I have also got a few notebooks and netbooks as my first set of test hardware. Nearly all of them run Linux (CentOS, SL, Ubuntu, and Fedora), only one runs Windows XP/Home SP3.<br>
<br>
I am sure that I am not the only who want to have a home-based test lab :-) For these who have gone down this route, do you mind sharing a bit of your setup? I am most interested in getting some cost-effective hardware for my own "small lab". I have got a few notebooks. Very proficient in RHEL, Fedora, Ubuntu, and KVM.<br>
