Actually, ESX server uses a custom developed boot loader/kernel that is
*nix like, but it's not linux or unix. The service console in ESX v2.x
is based on RH 7.2 in v3.x it will be based on RHEL 3.0.
You will want to get education on VMWare not linux to run ESX. ESX is
very different than it's "brethren" of GSX and Workstation.
As for general Linux education, there are serveral course providers in
the area for instructor led, however, I don't know of any that utilize
instructors with real-world experience. I would opt to go for a self
study based course to get the basics of linux/unix first then get the
specific training on a particular distribution. There are several free
courses on novell.com to get you started.
