Re: vmware on debian etch

[Russell Ost <russell.ost@netliving.com>]

I've been using VMware player and Workstation for over a year now. The 
default installation script works for both Sarge, and Etch without 
issue. My current image (Etch) can be found at www.netliving.com. VMware 
publishes a link to my server on VMTN. Over 10,000 images have been 
downloaded within the last 11 months. I update the virtual machine every 
few months. Hopefully, this helps spread the joy of Debian.
