vEMan - [v]Mware [E]SX [Man]ager provides a GUI for managing ESX servers natively from within your Linux desktop without the need to use Windows vSphere® anymore!

Support vEMan development for v2.0 by gofundme!
http://www.gofundme.com/vEMan

Why I started vEMan? Because I hate it to start my Windows VM to manage ESX(i) servers ;o)

vEMan is (maybe) not needed if you use vCenter 5.x: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2005377
--> vSphere >= v5 has a "web client"
BUT keep in mind that there are caveats: Not all features are available in the web client AND it can connect to vCenters only (see: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006095)

- ESX(i) v3.x or 4.x?
- v5.x - but no vCenter?
- you want a native Linux vSphere client?

Then try vEMan!
