Admin Tools For Home?

Hey Guys,

I'm looking to build a admin practice lab at home. I'm in need of loadbalancer software to practice configurations, possibly virtual. I'm also looking for some emulations on Splunk and TripWire GUI, I was going through CLI, but I need to practice with these particular tools.

Greatly appreciate any direction on where to find said tools.

Splunk Light is free and lets you index up to 500MB per day. What use case scenario are you looking to cover?

Trying to build my own virtual data center. Trying to gain experience with multiple vendors working in Synch. hosts, DNS servers, Email Servers, FW's, Load Balancers, Switches, routers, monitoring software to gather syslogs. Once I'm completed my first real lab would be to permit syslog 514 to splunk. lol

I'm no where complete. I'm thinking if I could mimic a data center at least within a virtual environment I would be prepare for most things. lol it's just for fun lol.
