Windows Server 2012 R2 lab machine
My current lab is exclusively Linux. I need to come up to speed on Windows Server and associated technology. In the process I still have to keep a small Linux lab available.
I have 2x Avoton systems and 2x i7 laptops. Would I be better served putting Hyper-V on the Avoton systems(8 core, 32Gb RAM) or on the laptops?
If you're already running a linux box as a host. I would instead but Oracle's Virtual Box on your system. It's a type 2 hypervisor but it work like a charm and doesn't require you to switchover completely. But it does have limitations such as working with hyper-v.
Either is a good choice...you should be able to run your linux machines in hyper-v as well. I just think about what I want to be my daily use machine!
Cordially,
