The love cannon has a very short range, about 2 feet, so you're inevitably out of range. I have to close the distance.
Does anyone know how long it usually takes Dell to make customized ESXi isos available? I have a Poweredge R710 that I want to put 5.1 on.

Dell and HP usually trail by 3-4 weeks, although they had 5.0U1 out just a week after it was released.

That doesn't sound too bad, thanks!

This may be a stupid question, but I can't find a good answer using Google. I have disabled defragmentation in every Windows guest OS since it is not meant to be of any use, but what about Linux operating systems? Should the occasional fsck on boot be disabled as well?

I was under the impression you don't need to defrag under linux.

... I don't know why I thought fsck was for defragging, I guess I have been away from linux for far too long. Is turning off fsck recommended for thin-provision file systems anyhow, in order to prevent the file systems from growing to their maximum size? Or is fsck so important that it should not be disabled?
