“This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on
how to install VMware Server 2 on a Fedora 14 desktop system (with
kernel 2.6.35). With VMware Server you can create and run guest
operating systems (“virtual machines”) such as Linux, Windows,
FreeBSD, etc. under a host operating system. This has the benefit
that you can run multiple operating systems on the same hardware
which saves a lot of money, and you can move virtual machines from
one VMware Server to the next one (or to a system that has the
VMware Player which is also free).“Also, with VMware Server you can let your old Windows desktop
(that you previously converted into a VMware virtual machine with
VMware Converter, as described in this tutorial:
http://www.howtoforge.com/vmware_converter_windows_linux) run under
your Fedora desktop. This can be useful if you depend on some
applications that exist for Windows only, or if you want to switch
to Linux slowly.“I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up
such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this
is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work
for you!”
