Best Linux for host? ... and ESX vs. Workstation

I've been running VM Workstation since 1999.  I just built a physical machine for my lab at home I want to only run on VMS.  I have two questions.

What is the best linux for VM Workstation 8 host?

I went the compatitibility guide at:

http://PartnerWeb.VMware.com/comp_guide2/search.php?deviceCategory=software & testConfig = 17

and put:

Workstation

8.0

all the

all the

Linux

Desktop

64

and it happens with Mandriva and SUSE.  It's weird.  No Red Hat?  No Ubuntu?  No Debian?  Mandriva is a French company funded by the Russians, which hurts me a little inside, and SUSE is not free.  It makes me wonder if this page is current.

Which leads to my next question. ... Are there not some hypervisor product that does not even need a host operating system?  What ESX?  I can get all the features of Workstation (snapshots, etc.) with this hypervisor product? ... and of course, I can't spend $2,000 for a lab at home.   It seems to me that to remember that one of these products is free,... was it ESXi?  Can someone explain the differences between the workstation and ESX in a few sentences.  But if I need the version ESX is $2000, then too bad.

I suppose that, ideally, I would like to install Workstation as a hypervisor (no host operating system).  Is there anyway to achieve this?  What do you suggest me?

ESXi uses a very minimal video driver - a computer display virtual itself is not possible
This is why you must use a second physical machine to view virtual machines

inside the virtual machines, you get only a virtual video card - playing the latest games inside a virtual machine is not possible

> or that, it cannot run on an i7? ... once again, really?

This is not correct - do not know who told you that...
ESXi is very picky when it comes to disk controllers - fake Raids and cheap stuff is not supported - but it will work with normal SATA drives

  • What are the best settings for host when PPTX is looping continues

    With the help of Jorma is was able to realize my PPTX in continuous loop, and change the number of seconds a slide was shown see How to let a pptx presentation run on its own

    There is only one question left. What are the best settings. I find that to let him run, I need to press the sync button, but then participants may choose (inadvertently) to stop the presentation of the execution of the loop.

    What are the correct settings, so that a participant sees only the slides (no side bar etc) and the loop is running?

    Your response is much appreciated

    You should not need to press the Sync button. In the options menu Pod for the sharing, with the loaded PPT module, you'll see an option to view the presentation bar. Use that to get the part for the hosts and presenters in the room, then press the button play. The presentation will be now play in a mode loop for everyone in sync mode. You can also hide the PlayBar to keep other hosts and presenters to stop playback and Participants will never see the PlayBar or have the option to stop the presentation.

    In addition, if your door essentially on the sharing module (highlight a focus), you can use the 'P' button to start playing the presentation without revealing the PlayBar to just anyone. Adobe Connect 9 * accessibility features

  • Best practices for storage and backups on internal and external drives

    Hello

    I have a Mac laptop and I would like your advice on how to organize the storage of files on internal and external drives and how optimizes it the backup plan.

    From now on, my organization of file storage is:

    I keep my most important files on the internal disk of SSD encrypted and less critical files on an encrypted external drive (format ExFAT). This external hard drive was errors, so I bought a new Laetitia 2 Tb drive that I formatted in Mac OS journaled with encryption instead of ExFAT, to replace.

    For backups, I do not use Time Machine, but I use an application that synchronizes files between two disks. By using this application, I first sync the essential document on the SSD files internal to the external drive, and then I synchronize all the external drive to another external drive.

    My question is, if I keep this Organization of file storage or I should, for example just move all my files, critical and non-critical for the internal SSD (I could make enough room for that) and then backup up the whole Mac with Time Machine? Or there is a better way to organize files in this scenario?

    The second question is, if it is better to keep the Organization as it split storage (internal, less critical on external criticism) is what would be the best way to back up everything?

    Thanks in advance for all contributions.

    First of all, to the ExFAT is the problem, I suggest that the reader will just physically hurt.  ExFAT is perfectly acceptable as a format where Mac and PC can read/write.  You may have reacted a little leaving ExFAT for HFS, but you have made your choice and adapts to it.

    Here is how I operate my backups:

    I use CCC (CarbonCopyClone, $40, bombich.com).  It copies the boot sectors, drive, mapping, recovery Partition (these three are 'invisible' to DiskUtility for most) as well as system partitions and data records 'other'.  These other disks may be internal for clone-to-test-new-OSX in multi-disc systems or external for backup purposes.  The beauty is that you can start an external clone in a system crash, then CCC will be re - copy the active external clone on a new/fixed internal drive.

    Encryption isn't something I know, but... If only the content of the system partition and data is encrypted, it * could * be OK for clone-back to partition-as-encrypted partitions.  If you clone internal external the external partition is active and copy the 'encrypted plan', while small adjustments are made so that the race could be bad.  Copy of the files on my partitions unencrypted change interrupt because they are individual files.

    As an alternative, you could have a system drive that does CCC charge, let the clone encrypted and encrypted internal idle and just copy the entire map with the 'third system' active.

  • Animate would be the best choice for 8 and 16 second ads Board animated digital wall?

    Hello, I'm looking for some advice which would be better suited for 8 and 16 second animation ads Board digital wall?  I need to combine video or animated backgrounds with graphic content, photos, video, and custom text and be able to animate these objects and thus create transitions smoothly.  I feel like Animate would be preferable but perhaps direction or after effects would work or be better?  Or maybe I should use all 3!  But above all what I am looking for the easiest way and fastest of these ads on the pump and that balance with control.  The final output should be a 1280 px h x 800 px s (not in standard size video HD 1280 x 720?)  and a MP4 or Quicktime video.

    Thank you very much for your help to anyone who can give me some insight or advice.

    Don't they actually meant 800 since it can be a custom size screen. Adobe Edge is a mostly defunct simple animation tool for the web. The things you can't do in animation you can do in After Effects are for most of the basic stuff, like realistic smoke particles and fire and lights or blurs than those who can also be made in Animate. I'd do things to animate and export to After effects for everything you need. It really comes down to what program you know best.

    With After Effects, I can import a PSD and manipulate any layer of gazillion ways. Or implement videos and layer those into the mix. It can be overwhelming at first, but once you understand the basics of the sky is the limit. I could watch tutorials AE starting on YouTube and see if it feels right for you.

    I used to be more experienced in Flash (now animate) but no more and only touched on board.

  • Best practices for configuring network ESX

    Suppose I have a small resource ESX server with only two physical network cards to work only a few virtual machines.  There are only two physical network adapters cannot be added.  Still, best practice would dictate that this service console would be on its own dedicated physical NIC?  In this scenario puts service console and all the VMs on a pair of network cards grouped better because if a NETWORK card fails both the service console and all virtual machines are still available?  In this case the bandwidth is very low and contention for the network bandwidth is not a problem. Thank you

    @rnm, it's just a matter of training.
    As a beginner when I compare an OBIEE between Windows and Linux installation, I still love the simplicity for Windows.
    I'm not at the stage, the more I use it, I love it.

    I am facing some problems with OBIEE I find on Linux but not on Windows. Specifically, if you take OC4J.
