If you want the MP3 version of the chinwag it’s here – but to be honest it’s much easier to subscribe to the podcast via iTunes which means the podcast will be download when ever I do them. If you don’t use iTunes, here’s the generic RSS Feed link.

In the chinwag we chat about how Rynardt got into virtualization, and how he built his home lab. Additionally, we discuss the challenges of trying to learn new blade systems such as HP Matrix or Cisco UCS. Towards the end we chinwag about the merits of NFS vs VMFS, and VMware’s plans to discontinue the Service Console version of ESX, in favour of ESXi.
