So let me get this straight: install a minimal Linux, install a Workstation isntance and in that instance dwploy ESXI. Did I get it right?
What I am a bit affraid is that it will beat the purpose. I was aiming on deploying ESXI with the purpose of wxpwrimenting with a bare metal installation, along with the puspose of experimenting with the outside of the LAN access access to the virtual machines inside. Won't this approach intervene with my experiment?
At this point I was thinking that the easiest way of achieving my task is simply by purchasing a PCI network card. Are there any know compatibility issues regarding this aspect?
What I wanted to say, though, is that I really appreciate your advice and if no other way appears viable, this will be my last alternative.
Again, thank you and looking forward to any other opinions and comments.
