Do you have experience with vmware esx and configuring an ISCSI array?
That's what I'm going to need to do. I've been diggling around with an
evaluation copy of esx 3.5. But i'm thinking I might be better off starting
with one of the lesser products intended for a workstation.
What I would really like to know is if I play with vmware workstation, will
what I learn be useful to me when learning esx?

Hi John: Well, in the case of VMWare, VMWare has a lot of good documentation, including their installing and configuration guides, available on their web site for free. Many books are available in browsable HTML and downloadable PDF forms, I don't know specifically about the install guide. They aren't the most accessible, but on the other hand I've been able to work my way through them with time if that says anything, so none of them are to the unusable point. If you're into ebooks though, two good sources are bookshare (http://www.bookshare.org) and for specific technical books try http://safari.oreilly.com I've used Safari, and while the main stream site doesn't give you accessible books, you can contact them, tell them you use a screen reader and they'll let you into a special site that has accessible versions of the content for no extra charge. Overall, Orielly is one of the most blind friendly book publishers I know of, although they are expensive. Its worth it though. Finally, there are several of us on this list who work with VMWare, including myself, so if you have questions I'm sure we would be more than happy to do the best we can to answer. I myself work with VMWare on a daily basis at work, and use all their tools, the SSH interface, the VIC, etc. and do so successfully with minor annoyances that can be major depending on how much pressure you're under, but have never left the annoyance relm for me.

Anybody have experience buying books on-line? I guess I'm going to need to buy a book on installing & configuring vmware esx. I have been struggling just to get it installed. I'm going to have to learn about the remote admin tools and how to get it to talk to an ISCSI array.
I'm worried that if I buy an e-book, I'll end up with the equivalent of a pdf document.
