This site is just my journey into most things VMware and perhaps even virtualization related. Since I’m tired of keeping a billion tabs opened and I’m too lazy bookmarking all the informative sites I find about VMs.

I’ve decided to create a simple blog that documents any tech related events that I attend and my experiences in the industry. Also of course my VM findings as I play around with the software and attempt to get things working correctly. 🙂

A ton of links to other sites as well from people way smarter than me that assisted in building my lab and overcoming certain situations regarding the technology.

I also have a pretty bad memory, so this will help me keep track of everything. 😛

VMs are Virtual Machines. It’s basically software that emulates hardware components. So essentially you can install nested VMs. Which is a VM in a VM.  Also, I know you’ve heard of video game emulators. You ever play a rom on an emulator? Slightly different but same concept.

scrub
/skrəb/
verb: scrub; 3rd person present: scrubs; past tense: scrubbed; present participle: scrubby

1. Someone who isn’t very good at something.
2. Noob, newbie, scrub. It’s all the same.

Not sure when the slang term scrub first originated. Probably somewhere in the early 90’s. Being an avid fan of fighting games, scrub is a word the FGC uses to describe someone that sucks.

Scrubs are the best since they are always looking to improve in their life-long learning journey! 

I agree. I consider myself a scrub also. Which is why I decided to document some of the troubles I ran into when working with the technology. Often times it helps me understand it better if I write it out.
