I have always had issues with VMware server and compiling of kernel modules, normally ended up costing a couple of days effort .. I have found 2 is more resource intensive than 1. Rather use ESXi 4.1 and get up and running quickly. If your hardware is not on the supported list there are other lists of tested hardware where people have it running on "Unsupported" hardware. Player is not a solution if the Virtual machine needs to be running 24/7. It's more suited to testing and demo use.

You may want to try VMware-player if you, (like almost everyone else) preferred 1.x to 2.x. The later versions of player are more like 1.x, allowing you to install an operating system from ISO or whatever, and work quite well with 64 bit CentOS. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Adam: You failed me.
