There's nothing to ridicule at all IMHO. You wanted to do something
new and have started out by actually doing it..or at least taking your
first steps towards doing it. That in itself is positive. All the
best!!

Might I also suggest you give Virtual Box a spin. Its most definitely
lighter than VMWare which seems to be very very bloated these
days(dunno why). Also if you have a spare box or two lying around the
cleanest way is to format it .... put ESXi on it and run as many VMs
as you want hosting whatever apps and dbs and what not.

Have fun :)

Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test. IACRB CPT 
and CEPT certs require a full practical examination in order to become certified.
