Tomorrow i am taking the VCP exam. So I sat through both I&C and the SDA courses to the tune of $7,000 and I had (2) instructors tell me that ESX is Red Hat under the hood, with additional customizations naturally.
On page 21 of the Install & Configure textbook it states "The Service Console supports administrative functions for the ESX Server. The Service Console is based on a modified version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (Update 6)."
WikiPedia indicates "which according to VMware 'wraps around' the linux kernel" around the service console.
I've gotten this question wrong (3) times on the Mock exams. Could someone please explain to me (or link to a good referance) how this really works?
Any insights are much appreciated.
