Re: vmware on debian etch

[Rick Reynolds <rick@rickandviv.net>]

Hmm... I've been using vmware workstation for over a year in testing 
(was sarge, then etch -- I think, not sure of the release dates).  The 
standard installation scripts they provided have worked for me each time.

Never played with server, though...

Thanks,
Rick Reynolds
