OS Images

This is a repository of OVA images to be used with VMware ESXi or other virtualization platforms that support OVA's.

Please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Virtualization_Format#Industry_support for more information on platforms that support OVAs.

I selected VM version 8 for the following reasons:
- I still have some older 5.x boxes I may need to use these on
- Newer hardware versions don’t offer me features that I need

* See https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2051652 for more information on Virtual Hardware Versions

VM's here shall:
- Use virtual machine hardware version: 8
- Have a 20GB thin provisioned disk
- Be the most basic installation to keep size down
- Have no additional software installed (except sshd)
- Whenever possible the username shall be "osimages" and the password shall be "Osimages123!"

If you found my repository useful and saved you some time, please let me know by rating it, and optionally leaving a review!
