    Migrating lab from vmware workstation to proxmox

    Thank you! I've already migrated to proxmox (on debian wheezy) and everything is working smoothly. I'm using proxmox for some vms that I need performance and I have also kept vmware workstation on the same machine as test lab for nested vms as it has better performance on that than proxmox.
