hoestly speaking, I am quite new to all this virtualization stuff. I 
started looking at it only yesterday, so I am going to ask a few newbie 
questions.

I understand that VMware server is free. Are there any other 
applications from them that are free (workstation?).

Once I install vmware server, I want to install Windows XP in the 
virtual machine. This is possible, right? And, er .. a few hints how to 
go about this?

I got stumped when my web interface didn't work. I am going to give it 
another try today with a fresh install.

thanks,
