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 :)
