running Linux rather than Windows as host

Hello

I'm trying to start learning of VMware and I wonder which version of the operating system, it is best to run it as a host for VM workstation? Inside of the workstation, I'll run 2 instances of ESXi machines so I'll try to save some resources with Linux. Don't you think it's just if I install Linux instead of Windows 7? I really save you 1 GB of RAM, or not? (theoretically for 64-bit Linux, it's 384-512 MB of RAM and Windows 7, it's nearly 2 GB of RAM)

The bottom line is made the effort running Linux rather than Windows is worthing? Because it's a pain even with Linux.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

I think that you run your host operating system with what you are comfortable with.  My choice would be Windows 7 x 64.  ESXi running as a virtual machine in my computer would work fine, just follow a few best practices recommendations.

    Hello

    Restart in safe mode and run the antivirus scans here. You have symptoms of an infected machine. Scanning in safe mode will reduce efforts of the virus to avoid detection.

    To restart in safe mode, restart normally, and when the system resets you can press the F8 key. It is point immediately after the screen logo POST or manufacturer initial of the system, and just before Windows starts to load. This will give you a boot menu where you can choose Safe mode.

    While you're here, you must also download and run the tool free malwarebytes here:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ (choose Safe mode with networking to do this). He can catch something that lack of MSE, no security tool is perfect.

  • Running Win Vista Business 32-bit SP2: how to configure it to use Yahoo to IE8 rather than Windows Live mail webmail?

    I was not able to find all the options that allow me to associate IE8 of Yahoo Web Mail, such as when a web site tries to invoke the windows associated with e-mail client to send an email, it opens Yahoo mail.

    I was able to get to the point where he would not try to open Outlook more - but now it opens a web version of microsoft mail (I think that Windows Live mail).  It doesn't seem to be a way to associate even the URL web mail Yahoo with IE8.

    Any thoughts?

    Windows Live Mail is a desktop client, not Webmail.

    Hello

    Welcome to the community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

    By the description, it looks like you are unable to run any windows build-in the convenience store, he would be grateful if you can answer this question in order to help you further.

    Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    The issue could be due to the file system sdiagnhost.exe file is missing, sdiagnhost.exe is damaged or Corruption in the registry.

    I suggest you perform a sfc scan and check if this can help, the system (SFC.exe) File Checker tool searches for missing or damaged system files and repairs.

    Steps to perform a scan SFC:

    un) Click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow

    (b) type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    [The command sfc /scannow. analysis of all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.]

    Once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

    3. In the left pane, select the Document file (the PDF icon) and click on scan...

    I need program/reset sharing Internet connection by the command line rather than GUI tools under Windows 2008 Server (could be a .cmd to run startup script or the programmer). Is this possible? Or there is some registry keys I need to set/restore and restart some services?

  • Windows 8 cursor jumps in the existing text and continues to type here rather than the finish line that I am on, anyone else spotted the same thing?

    Just upgraded to Windows 7 to 8, using MS Office Word 2010, worked well on Win 7, but now type text and the cursor suddenly jumps into the existing text and continues typing, rather than the finish line that I'm on.  Thought, I was accidentally touched for touch pad or other keys, so now consciously look for this but can find nothing on my part.  Have experienced it before with a processor OS Linux and Open Source, when the OS has been updated.  Think there may be a loophole to WIN 8.  It also happens when keying in the screens like this, that has happened twice while here. Someone else spotted the same thing?  Or is it just me?

    Also, anyone know how to disable "Open Tap" on the Mouse touchpad of the notebook, its annoying, I could disable in WINDOWS 7 but cannot know how Win8.
