But then, without the pricey Management tool which _requires_ M$ OS, the learning curve of accessing the console and creating VM etc is a bit steep. http://www.virtualizationadmin.com/articles-tutorials/vmware-esx-articles/general/how-to-access-the-vmware-esxi-hidden-console.html That should get you started HTH Regards, Rajagopal ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Then, you will have to *buy* a serial key [ fake serials are also available, check out ;) ]. But rather than doing this, I strongly suggest you look at virtualbox, which is free and open source, and is rapidly developing. AFAIK, virtualbox does not support 3D acceleration in guest systems, but VMWare does. It is finally your choice, but I suggest you download virtualbox ( http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads), install and start using! -- Thanks and Regards, Hrishikesh Murali ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
