VMware 2.5 (Player 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 release introduces Unity View (integrating guest applications with the host), an installer bundle for Linux hosts providing a graphical UI wizard, and accelerated 3D graphics (DirectX 9 accelerated graphics with shaders up through Shader Model 2.0) on Windows XP guests. Operating system support was expanded. Several other enhancements and performance improvements were made. Image

NAME

       vmmemctl - vmware kernel module

SYNOPSIS

       modprobe vmmemctl

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  a  kernel module. It isn't backed by a virtual hardware device, so it must be loaded manually. It has no dependencies, nor do any
       Tools components depend on it, so it can be loaded at any time during the boot process. Once loaded, no further action is needed.

OPTIONS

       vmmemctl has no options.
