I realize a vast majority of my readers can't make it to VMworld:

This video helps you feel a little like you were there, visiting my demo. It gives you a look at how simple and fast sysadmin functions can be, in a properly configured home lab environment. The dozens of folks who visited me from all over the globe mostly chatted with me about the physical server itself, and their experiences with it, which was wonderful! This left little time to show the various UIs though, that I use for the sysadmin of my Supermicro SuperServer SYS-5028D-TN4T Xeon D-1541 Bundle 2. This video hopefully fills that gap, a make-up session if you will.
