This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install VMware Server on a Fedora Core 6 desktop system. 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).

Once again, HowToForge fails to impress. First off, they tell you to download and install the .tar.gz instead of the .rpm. Why?!? So that the install is much more difficult and updating to a new version in the future is even worse? Don't listen to them. In fact, you don't need a tutorial at all. I installed the vmware-server RPM on Fedora Core 6 in absolutely no time. Install the RPM, run vmware-config.pl, and you're done! There you go, a proper RPM installation that is easy to manage and update and you didn't even need a tutorial!
