VMware 2.0 (Server branch)

VMware allows you to run 'virtual machines' inside a Linux host. It is not an emulator. It provides a virtual computer within the host which can boot whichever OS you decide to put on the filesystem image that is used as a harddrive. It will run DOS 6.22, Win 3.1, Win9x, WinNT/2000/XP/2003, Linux, Novell, and more. The only main requirement is a 400 MHz or better machine, along with lots of RAM (128M minimum, 256M recommended). License: Free To Use But Restricted Changes:
This major release introduces VI Web Access, VMware remote console, USB 2.0 device support, increased RAM support (8GB instead of 3.6GB per virtual machine), improved 64-bit guest support, native 64-bit host support on Linux, quiesced backups of virtual machines, a VMCI Sockets interface, and hot add and remove for SCSI hard disks.
