View Article  VMWare Browser Appliance

VMWare has a (free) browser appliance you can download (250MB) and run on your desktop. The browser appliance is just a virtual machine that runs Ubuntu with Firefox, Gaim (messenger) and some other apps. The virtual disk is about 800MB.

To run the virtual machine you can use the free VMWare Player or run it in VMWare Workstation.

View Article  VMWare Workstation 5.5 supports 32 and 64-bit guests

A new feature of VMWare Workstation 5.5 is support for 32 and 64-bit guests. These guests can run simultaneously on the same machine provided that you run VMWare Workstation on 64-bit hardware. You do not need to run a 64-bit host os to have 64-bit guest os's.

If you think that any 64-bit capable CPU will be ok, think again. Only specific CPUs (revisions) are supported:

- AMD Opteron Rev. E or later (full support)
- Athlon64 Rev. D or later (full support)
- Intel VT enabled processor (experimental)

VMWare Workstation 5.5 will automatically check if your CPU supports 64-bit guests. Also check out http://www.vmware.com/products/beta/ws/ for more info.
