Being that I am in the middle of building out my lab, and have a ton of old cisco hardware with ancient images, I have found myself going through the process of updating firmware quite a bit as I tinker with different IOS images.

Vmware VCenter Virtual Appliance – Death to Windows.. I think.
6a00d8341c77ee53ef01630028e663970dI am, and have always been, a Linux/Unix Administrator, until VMware forced me to learn a bit of Windows. This, above all, has been the very WORST part about Vmware. Just to run Virtual Center, I had to BUY Windows, I had to Install Windows, and I had to try to learn Windows. Oh, and then I had to slap some sort of virus protection on it, and figure out how to patch it. And then worst of all try to authenciate to it, as I am not administering Active Directory. No, I use Openldap, as any Linux/Unix admin would.
