6.5 Update 3, build 14320405 here... I was planning on going further up the tree, but then the sh*t show started.... #-(

I already have the proxmox experiance, so it's just waiting time... I wish that it had the option to install it like ESXi though.
My current server has ESXi on a 8gb usb memory stick, and al lthe drives are dedicated to the VM's (Two SSD's) and paaased through to Xigamnas. #-)
