[ale] [OT] VMWare learning environment?

[Leam Hall]

So far I see ESXi, VSphere, and VCenter. The direction I've been given 
is "go learn VMWare".

I've used VSphere clients but never administered an installation. 
Looking at the ESXi system requirements I'm not sure SATA is supported 
for the guests, so I may need to do their lab stuff remotely until I can 
figure out a host to use.
