I know next to nothing about virtualization. I don't think, at least at this time, that I need to become certified in it. I do, however, need to understand at least the fundamentals.
I'm looking for a good resource to learn from the ground up. I see there is a "Virtualization for Dummies" book that has good reviews on Amazon. Are there any other recommendations for good learning resources? Thanks!

I am researching hardware info for setting up an Esxi box and there is a ton of information out there for free. I don't have any plans for getting certified but want to also build a decent foundation.
I kind of found myself sucked in enjoying learning about it though so who knows what I might do in the near future.
Vmware's site has quite a few pdf guides some more in depth and many that are high level.
