The
only time you'll need to upgrade the vm_mod module is if it won't load into a
newer kernel. When you run vmware-config.pl, it'll tell you so and prompt you to
create a new module. Pretty painless.
I just upgraded my kernel via yum and I didn't need
to make any changes for vmware to continue to work
optimally.

You were rigth it is really easy to install, and has no
comparation
with QEMU it is like being in an old VW and then in a
Bugatty!! :)
I have only one concern it had to compile a module for my
kernel, so
when I update my linux Kernel with yum, i will loose my VMWare
?
I think yum is not take care of that :)
