Howdy,

 pa> ESXi works perfectly, is free, and functions as if you installed it on a
 pa> badass server... well, a server with the specs of an RPi 4... :P 

So I have me an 8GB Pi 4 - which I put ESXi on about a week ago, and I've been 
"running it in" to see how stable it is.

Its pretty good.

The only downside is that it will only boot 64 bit kernels. I was hoping to 
move my RISC OS to a VM, and also play with dosbian - and may only do it with 
dosbian if it is running a 64 kernel (or I can make it with a 64bit kernel)... 
(32 bit user space is OK).

But I'm a huge fan of ESXi - use it all the time. For me, I treat it like 
firmware - ie: it enables you to partition a machine, gives you a remote 
console (via a
browser which is a plus), perfect for me, since I run everything headless.

I'll be moving my BBS and hub over to a VM very soon...
