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!

* Sigh *...
