VMware 6.5.1 (Workstation 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: Other/Proprietary License with Free TrialChanges:
Experimental smart card support for Linux guestswas introduced. Repainting of application windowsin Unity mode on Linux guests was improved. 3Dgraphics performance for Windows XP guest wasimproved. Replaying of recordings by older VMwareWorkstation versions is now partly supported. Afreeze on automatic update of VMware tools onRHEL5 was resolved. Several other bugs were fixed.

vmsync
VMSYNC(9) Open VM Tools VMSYNC(9) NAME
vmsync - vmware kernel module SYNOPSIS
modprobe vmsync DESCRIPTION
This is a Linux kernel module. It isn't backed by a virtual hardware device, so it must be loaded manually. It is depended on by vmware-guestd(8), so ideally it should be loaded prior to starting vmware-guestd(8) (though vmware-guestd(8) can function without it). This module is used for freezing and thawing the filesystem. OPTIONS
vmsync has no options. SEE ALSO
