Its utility for testing new software, and new network configurations is huge!<br /> <br /> [http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ VMware player] allows to play images of virtual machines (not required if you already have the [http://www.vmware.com/products/server/ VMware server]). An image of a virtual machine is called an [http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/ appliance].<br /> <br /> [http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/ VMware converter] allows to transform any physical computer into a virtual machine. This can be useful when you want to port a given computer configuration to other machines.<br /> <br /> == Installation under linux ==<br /> *Download the vmware server for linux.<br /> *Register and ask for a few license keys.<br /> *Install the kernel-devel rpm package for kernel source code recompilation.<br /> *Install the inetd and xinetd.<br /> *Install the vmware server for linux.<br /> *from the shell type:<br /> &gt; vmware-config.pl<br /> and follow the installer instructions. By the end, you should have the vmware daemon up and running successfully and ready to install guest OSes.<br /> <br /> == Installing new virtual machines ==<br /> * From Applications--&gt;System Tools--&gt;VMware server console.<br /> <br /> ==Toggling between Full-screen and windowed modes==<br /> The magic key stroke is: <br /> '''ctrl-alt-enter'''<br /> <br /> ==Expanding the size of a disk==<br /> There is an command line utility that can resize your VMachine disk:<br /> C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server&gt;vmware-vdiskmanager -x 20GB <br /> &quot;D:\VMmachines\Fedora Core 4 Workstation\Other Linux 2.6.x kernel.vmdk&quot;<br /> Then, you need to adjust the partition to this new size.
