@Zenith63's advice here is excellent, but I'll just add a question on your primary goal. If it's to get a job somewhere, note that most of the big companies here will use vendor supported products like VMware over freeware. They like having a vendor at the end of a phone call when things go wrong. Smaller leaner operations are more likely to use open source.Other than Windows 2022 server I prefer to have open source free softwares like Ubuntu.
You could check out adverts.ie, donedeal.ie and ie.webuy.com (CEX) can even be good for memoryI have got a free take away offer for a Dell PowerEdge R620, but with no RAM and internal storage.
May I know where to get few DDR3 RAM sticks and SATA SSD's cheap?
I see the Broadcom aquisition means the free tier is now discontinued.ESXi is free for individual servers yes.
Yeah very strange decision, that free tier was the entry point for lots of us to becoming VMware fans, now only their main enterprise competitor HyperV has a free (long trial) version. Guess it won’t be the first piece of good software bought and killed accidentally!I see the Broadcom aquisition means the free tier is now discontinued.
I usually go to https://www.memoryc.ie for SSDs. They also do memory.I have got a free take away offer for a Dell PowerEdge R620, but with no RAM and internal storage.

This is how Broadcom operate their chip business. They are not interested at all in the small business or hobbyist. When the Raspberry Pie came out is amazed people that they managed to get Broadcom to supply them with a CPU, let alone data sheets on how the it operated.Yeah very strange decision, that free tier was the entry point for lots of us to becoming VMware fans, now only their main enterprise competitor HyperV has a free (long trial) version.

Yeah, they've even gone about alienating and cutting off most of the reseller channel that were selling to and supporting small and medium businesses.This is how Broadcom operate their chip business.
