Agree!  ESXi is a great product.

I've used it in production for a couple clients.

The other main problem with ESXi is a Windows-only client is required
to administer it.  Which for us Mac & Linux only households, it means
I still need a copy of the old VMware-server (free) on Linux, or
VMware-Fusion (not free) on Mac to run Windows to admin VMware-ESXi.

I'd love to be able to run ESXi at home on an old PC, but I haven't
attempted it yet.  (and I don't want to spend thousands of dollars on
"supported" server hardware)

What problems did you run into?  What hardware did you replace to make it run?
