I just checked out VMware's site and it did not list
Debian as a distro
that it supports.  Has anyone had any problems with
this?  The cost is
$189.00 for the download.  If there is a problem
with VMware, is there an
alternative?

      

As long as I remember after wmware there was a bunch of people making
something similar called "plex86".

cygar@oahu:~$ apt-cache search 86 |grep -i virtu
plex86 - PC virtualization program to run x86 OSes [dummy package]

Don't forget that the win4lin that supports winxp is based on qemu

apt-get install qemu

If you want it for personal use, qemu might be good, but there are many enhancements in win4lin that haven't been sent upstream (but will be eventually).

I haven't used it but read up about it on the qemu lists a while back.
