Which software to use to run VMware images depends on the operating system you will run the image under. (It does not depend on the operating system inside the VMware image.)
- VMware on Windows and Linux
| Windows | http://www.microsoft.com/}} | Linux}} | A free VMware player is available for Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems from VMware. You will need to register to download it. |
- VMware on Mac OS X
| Apple | http://www.apple.com/macosx/}} | There is no free VMware player that runs directly under Mac OS X. However, there are several other options, all of which require an Intel Mac: |
- VMware Fusion
| Fusion | http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/}} | VMware Fusion allows you to run VMware images, and Windows and Linux images under Mac OS. There is a fully functional, 30 day free trial version of VMware Fusion available for download.' |
- Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) and Boot Camp
| Boot Camp | http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html}} | The Leopard release of Mac OS (10.5) includes Boot Camp, a feature that allows you to boot your Mac into another operating system, including Windows or Linux. From there you can install the VMware player for your OS.* |
- Parallels Desktop for Mac
| Parallels | http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/}} | Another option is Parallels Desktop for Mac. Like Fusion, Parallels allows you to run Windows and Linux under Mac OS. It also provides support for running VMware images under Parallels, but we have not tested this functionality yet. |
| * | Apple tells you that you can partition your disk drive at any time using Boot Camp. In practice, this appears to only work easily when you first get your system. |
