Hi Shane
I have bought an empty server from a friend its Quad-core intel processor ,10GB RAM, 2 500GB HDDs. I wanna set it up for practice at home, but don't know where to start with.
first, I have one windows laptop with upgraded to 12GB RAM, I5 CPU, which I would like to use as monitor/control for the server ( as someone told me that I can use KVM port via cat 6/5e to do so). can I do that straight away or I have to conect separate monitor KB for once?
Second, where I would get windows OS to install server (something like esxi not sure).
after that I gonna set up few Virtual machines which in turn I would use as my virtual network.
A word of advise and help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Vik
PS:- The server is Del Power-Edge 2950
