Use version 1 instead?
1.0.8 is the latest, it was updated even after 2.0 was released.
It is far less resource hungry than 2.0.

Added features in 2.0 include:
- support for new guest systems such as Windows Server 2008, Vista,
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5;
- runs on 64-bit hosts;
- 64-bit guests are installable on 64-bit hardware;
- support for USB 2.0.

So, if you do not need any of these, 1.0.8 would suffice.
Obtainable from www.vmware.com/download/server/
Haven't tried it yet though.

BTW, I do have VirtualBox, XP runs fine in it, but W95/98 is hardly
suitable for it.
Guest Additions cannot be installed in a VirtualBox W95/98 VM;
it is a hassle to exchange data with the W95/98 installation.
Moreover, since VB's upgrade to version 2, W95 has become horribly
slow, whilst the XP installation does not suffer from this phenomenon.
Which is the reason why I took at look at VMware for W95/98.

I know. However, I wasn't able to get it compiled at all on a fresh
lenny AMD64 install (looking back, it was prolly some missing 32bit
system libs) and I had to have the 64 bit to really make full use of the
6 gigs of RAM I installed.


I have to admit that version 2 runs /much/ better than 1.0.8 and I've
found that in spite of the craptastic UI and resource requirements, my
VM's run much smoother as well.

I suppose that you mean VMware Workstation 7.1 / Player 3.1.

VMware officially supports their desktop products on RHEL 5.x, OpenSuSE,
Ubuntu LTS.

If you're not using Ubuntu LTS then CentOS 5.x -which is binary
compatible with RHEL 5.x- is more stable to run VMware's desktop products.

I'm not talking about VMware Server 2.x because VMware has abandoned it,
although I use it on CentOS 5.5 with some workarounds.

VMware is a company, not a specific product.

One (CentOS) may be supprted, the other (Ubuntu) not.

Can you expand on that? Did they abandon VMWare Server altogether, or
just version 2?

I'm still using version 1.08, and it works fine, except that Win XP
SP3 won't Hibernate or Stand-by due to an incompatibility with one of
the VMWare drivers. I was using the VMWare save machine state, but it
turns out that shutdown and reboot is faster....

Let us know.... :-)

See:

There was a discussions about this issue in the CentOS mailing list so
try to see the archives.

Good luck!

I think it is specific to RHEL/Centos. Server 2.x was broken by an update to
RHEL 5.x and neither RHEL nor VMware have done anything to fix it. I don't
think other supported distros were affected.

I don't think anyone likes the web-based console in the 2.x series anyway. I'd
either stick with the 1.x version or load ESXi on the hardware and move your
current OS to a guest.

There is also some unfixed security issues with 2.x.

VMware ESXi doesn't support the same hardware as CentOS does.
