Capacity requirement depends on the coverage and scope of the target.

Overall, I see it is sufficient capacity

I'm thinking of building a vmware target box for a pentest practice lab consisting of:

cheap Dell server with 16 gigs of ram PowerEdge T105
vmware workstation

My question is with the host OS.
I was contemplating the home version of Windows 7 to give me a 64 bit OS to support the amount of ram I'm planning on
Does anyone have any experience with the latest version of VMware workstation and if it will run properly on Windows 7?

would 64 bit Ubuntu be a better idea?
