Help me understand Virtual Machine [VMWare]

@tomos: Take a look at this article. (I'm assuming you're using Player rather than Workstation.) :)

Some additional resources:

Don't know if you're the reading type, but the proverbial "FMs" for Player can be downloaded from here.

VMWare hosts community forums which I've found helpful from time to time. And they also host interest and location specific groups although I've never joined one.

tomos:
Thanks for the help/direction 40 :)

I had just rooted out their forums myself ... there's an incredible range of forums there http://communities.vmware.com/community/

tomos:
Just to note VMWare Player 5 has just been released
http://www.vmware.com/support/player50/doc/player-50-release-notes.html

(I havent installed it yet, wont get to it today anyway.)

xtabber:
Both VMware Workstation and VirtualBox have just released major updates.

VMware Workstation 9 is an expensive ($119) upgrade barely a year after version 8 was released. It appears to bring some interesting new options, such as the ability to access a VM remotely or to mount a virtual disk as a drive on the host system, but it's getting harder to justify the cost versus the free (at least for personal use) of VirtualBox 4.2.

InfoWorld has a comparative review of VMware 9 and VirtualBox 4.2.

mouser:
Very nice find xtabber -- thanks for posting that link.  :up:
