I am not sure which vmware product to install. I believe vmware server is good if you need remote connections (something I do not require at this point). There is also workstation and player. So I'm looking for advice on the basic recipe as well as any common pitfalls. Peter __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
