..What do I download? VMWare Player, or VMWare Server? Or, VMWare Converter? What do you recommend?


Edit: I suppose you can disregard this, I just started downloading Server. Stgm, it looks like you have Server and Player? Do I need both?

Stgm, it looks like you have Server and Player? Do I need both?

Depends.. are you going to be running the server on a separate machine? If so, then you'll need the server and the player. If it's just going to be on the same machine, just get the server. I have my VMware set up on my win2k3 server, and I use it from my XP/Vista box.

Yeah, I'm just going to run it from one machine. Thanks for the help, +rep!


Ouuu yippy! It looks like my download is done! ... And apparently I need Microsoft IIS, so, time to download that I guess! Do you have any tips for getting an OS on a CD to install?

[.Maleficus.]

Actually, never mind. I skipped the IIS part of the install, and set up Solaris 10 (I have it on DVD (thank you free mail orders!) and wanted to try it before an install) and I'm about to start it for the first time.

Good deal mal. As far as installing the actual OS goes, I used Daemon tools to mount the ISO. Heading to work soon. I'll check back tomorrow. +rep

Thanks for all the help stgm. Anyways, here's how it's going.

VM Server will mount the ISO as your optical drive. It has that ability. No reason to mount it externally.

Thing is I didn't have it saved on my computer as an .iso. I received it in the mail from Sun. But I think I'll try out Arch Linux when Solaris is done (that I have as an .iso)
