[chef] Re: Re: Running Chef client in a VMware VSphere 4 Service Console?

Ugh, It'd be pretty ugly, although it's doable. May I ask why you want to
do this?

Also, 4.1 would be the last ESX release. VMWare is going the ESXi model
(no service console) after 4.1. They even have migration guides for
migrating from ESX to ESXi.
