- I do not have yet-another beige box.

- I do not want to suck another 130 WATTS or so nor produce its equivalent in carbon footprint operating yet-another beige box, when a virtual machine *may* instead use an incremental 7-11 WATTS on my under utilized existing machine.
- I do want to form (and subsequently fold) a pilot / proof of concept sandbox to play in and keep safe my other production machines and environs.
- I do want to use an under-utilized machine that I already have in-hand for (A)'s purposes rather then breed yet-another under-utilized beige box.
- I do want to understand visualization -- in all its prevalent variants -- as part of my professional standing as a CISA, CISM and CISSP. And the best way to do so is live in and on the stuff, rather then parrot "someone says."
