[AccessD] VMWare VSphere

I have heard it is all command prompts based... no GUI but real men and
women don't need fancy graphics. ;-) 

Graphics sucks up a huge amount of resources so for best performance, if you
can heave that presentation manager, receiving a 50% performance bounce
would not be an unreasonable expectation.

I will be working on a Debian Linux server (the station is an old beater
box, 4 years ago state-of-the-art and now state-of-the-ark) this weekend,
for a site backup (a full Windows LAN and a couple of remotes) and trying to
put in a Virtual Windows7 station in as well, so by Tuesday I should be an
expert. 8-)

This appears to be a bare metal hypervisor that is free.  Has anyone tried
to use it to set up a 
hypervisor on consumer hardware?  IOW I have available systems with quad
core AMD processors and 16G 
of ram.  But the motherboards are just workstation type of motherboards,
with AMD built in graphics 
and the like.

I have never set up a bare metal hypervisor, and would like to know what I
am getting into before I 
launch down that road.
