Actually, you can. qemu-img can create VMWare disk images, and create or modify a VMWare configuration file. According to VMWare employees this is in compliance with the VMWare Player License, e.g.: http://www.vmware.com/community/message.jspa?messageID=320559#320559 Other distributors even openly encourage taking this route: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VMwarePlayerAndQemu I guess that it is not much of an issue anymore, now that VMWare Server is free. But the qemu-img route is fun, and easily scriptable. -- Daniel
