Why? I don't really see why you should use vmware, oh well :)

Yes, I heard something about it. Most important part is that Delphi for
Linux
is comming out in 2K. :)

Is also works on Redhat 6.0, 6.1 and Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 and 2.3.
I tried it. Only a couple of utils seem to core dump the lot. But there
is where the Interbase administration kit comes in. It comes with every
Inprise/Borland CD-ROM containing Interbase 4 or higher.

Just install and it shoudl work :)
