Open the following configuration file: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf
And add:
Acquire::http::proxy “http://<IP_TO_PROXY>:<Proxy_Port_WEB>”;
Acquire::ftp::proxy “ftp://<IP_TO_PROXY>:<Proxy_Port_FTP>”;
If authentication is required, add this instead
Acquire::http::proxy “http://<username>:<password>@<IP_TO_PROXY>:<Proxy_Port_WEB>”;
Acquire::ftp::proxy “ftp://<username>:<password>@<IP_TO_PROXY>:<Proxy_Port_FTP>”;
<IP_TO_PROXY> = The IP address of the proxy, e.g.: 192.168.1.10
<Proxy_Port_WEB> = The proxy web port, e.g.: 8080
<Proxy_Port_FTP> = The proxy ftp port, e.g.: 2121
If authentication:
<username> and <password> (doh, no need to explain).
Done!

Don’t try it. It will install. But it slows the system down. Really, it took me 25 minuts to log in. 10 minuts to just write the password.
I will try to find a workaround and share it. If anyone finds a solution, feel free to leave a commen!

How to restart the management on a VMware ESX 3.5:
SSH to the vmware-esx box and do a:
sudo service mgmt-vmware stop
sudo service mgmt-vmware start
or a:
service mgmt-vmware restart
or as root just:
service mgmt-vmware stop
service mgmt-vmware start
or:
service mgmt-vmware restart
This would be the solution if you can’t connect to the box using VMware Infrastructure Client, like if you get an error saying:
Error Connecting
VMware Infrastructure Client could not establish the initial connection with the server ““.
Details: The server took too long to respond.

While googling around for some documentation of some ESX specific commands, I discovered this command line reference guide for ESX 3.x and ESXi 3.x , written by B2V.
Its worth taking a look at.

By default, ssh access is disabled on VMware ESXi 3.5, so how do i enable ssh on VMware ESXi 3.5?
First, get shell access on the console: Howto: ESXi shell access
Then:
1. Type “vi /etc/inetd.conf” and press “enter”.
2. Locate the line that starts with “#ssh stream tcp nowait root /sbin/dropbearmulti…….”
3. Move the marker over the “#” and press “x”.
4. Press “Escape” and write “:wq”, then press “enter”.
5. Type “/sbin/services.sh restart” and press “Enter”. Note: If you are running ESXi 3.5 Update 2, the services.sh no longer restarts the inetd process. You will have to manually kill the inetd process, in order to restart it and enable ssh access without a reboot. Type “ps | grep inetd” and press “enter”. You will then see something similiar to “1289 1289 busybox inetd”. Then write “kill -HUP 1289″, and remember to write the number “ps | grep inetd” returns to you!

How to get shell access to your VMWare ESXi server?
By default the VMWare ESXi server don’t offer shell access (through the menu).
But by doing the following, you will be able to access the shell (although its limited):
1. Hook up a screen and a keyboard to the VMWae ESXi server.
2. Press “Alt+F1″
3. Write “unsupported” and press Enter (if you screw up, and think you’ve typed something wrong,
you can use Ctrl+U to clear the input field).
4. Enter the root password, an voila, shell access.
