only time you'll need to upgrade the vm_mod module is if it won't load into a

create a new module. Pretty painless.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

I'm not familiar with that package. VMware is very very easy to
install,<BR>> though so I'm not sure where you're getting it's hard to
install. It's<BR>> simply an RPM file to install. It runs through a
configuration utility, <BR>> where you answer a few questions (usually
the defaults are good), and<BR>> then you start the console with one
command.<BR>><BR>> Compared to other packages, VMware does a much
better job at<BR>> communicating with your hardware. It's more true
virtualization compared <BR>> to other software just tricking the system.
Each virtual machine is<BR>> isolated from the other, so you should be
careful about other packages<BR>> in regards to issues like
this.<BR>><BR>You were rigth it is really easy to install, and has no
comparation <BR>with QEMU it is like being in an old VW and then in a
Bugatty!! :)<BR>I have only one concern it had to compile a module for my
kernel, so<BR>when I update my linux Kernel with yum, i will loose my VMWare
?<BR>I think yum is not take care of that :)
