About installing vmware workstation9 on upcoming release of debian ie., wheezy stable.



Sir I want to install debian upcoming release ie., wheezy stable and also I want to install vmware workstation9 on wheezy stable OS. I have sent similar message to vmware workstation communities and their response was

While Debian is not a supported host OS, Workstation should generally be functional on Debian. I work at VMware, and regularly use two Linux machines running Debian 6.0.x amd64 and one running the Debian 7 beta amd64.

The core functionalities of Workstation work just fine: I can create VMs, install OSes, take and restore snapshots, and so forth. There are many features of Workstation that I haven't tried on Debian hosts lately (e.g. 3D acceleration, USB passthrough, Thinprint printer passthrough, raw disks), so I have no idea if those will work. The one thing that -- in my experience -- doesn't always work correctly is sound: On Debian hosts, Workstation seems particularly sensitive to the type of sound device in the host, and it sometimes requires some tweaking to get ALSA devices to output "clean" sound. Your Mileage May Vary... Maybe it's just that I don't choose good sound devices.

Sir I am requesting you to fix this issue.

Regards,
Rupesh.
