Fry's appears to be selling the i5 6400 for $139 today with a promo code. Wondering if it would be a good placeholder until a Kaby Lake i7 is available.
I actually don't have many limitations that would prevent me from switching. I wouldn't switch the OS on my main PC. I would like to get back to working with Linux more extensively.
I am going to start dabbling more with VMware. I recently purchased an HP Proliant DL360 G6 with 12GB RAM and 2 250GB HDDs. Do I need to add more RAM? What would be the best way to install VMware EXSi? What would be a good starter server OS?
