Installing Vmware Workstation
September 29th, 2009 | Author: Badita Florin
Either that you want to install some games, test some viruses, and do not want to destroy your pc or mac. Vmware is the best thing out there.,Best but not free.
Vmware is used by :
“Nostalgic people that want to play old games that doesn’t work on newer Windows Versions.”
“Programmers who want to test there games or applications over multiple platforms”
“People that want to install some programs and don`t have to worry about the system load.”
( Lets say that you have to choose between 20 sound application to use. After you will find the application that you like and you will start to delete the others applications, you will find that one program did not deleted itself so good.One still is in your computer after you deleted him, etc. )
Imagine after you spend hours installing the programs , you will have to spend maybe the same time removing them. When you have a virtual Machine, you can just undo before you installed the programs. You win a lot of time.
1. Download and instalation :
Google for “vmware workstation” or download it from the main site (You will have to register for a 30 days trial) . You will need the cd-key to install vmware.
You will get a almost 500 Mb file.
After 1-2 minutes you will have only to click next and next until you reach the Install button.
At the end you have to type the serial number
that you get it from the main site. You have to restart the computer before running Vmware Workstation. After the restart you need to accept the EULA and you are set to go.
2 . Using Vmware Workstation
Choose the Create a new virtual machine. Typical > Installer disc image file (iso) > Next
In my case, i am using CentOs 5 , with is a compiled version of Red Hat Enterprise. Choose the Guest operating system and the version and click next.
Set the name and the location of the Virtual Machine.
Select the Disk Capacity of the Virtual Machine.
6-8 GB for Cent OS . At least 10 Gb for Windows XP or Vista.
On the Last page, the Wizard let you to costomize the Hardware, select the amount of ram, network adapter, sound card, etc .

Chiar are lumea nevoie de indrumare in a instala vmware?
nu credeam.
Ai o figura foarte interesanta, nu pari a bucurestean. Ma insel?
si eu credeam ca lumea nu are nevoie neaparat sa posteze prin proxy ca sa lase comentarii
Anyway, mersi de comentariu. Am vazut oameni care nu stiu cum se instaleaza Office , doar alte programe
) Vreau sa fie o serie, in care sa invat lumea cum sa instaleze vmware-ul, un cent os, ubuntu, apache, etc. Cam un fel de serie despre cum poti sa iti faci singur un server, etc. 
deh, nu toti sunt asa de “destepti” ca tine mai Lau. oamenii de acest gen care vor sa le arate si altora ce si cum se face nu sunt decat de laudat. asa ca Lau tata, decat sa te iei de oameni nevinovati mai degraba stoarce si tu ceva util din neuronul tau. Adios amigos

Hey. Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. Help me! There is an urgent need for sites: This offers miami a vascular adult for ordering and taking, mexican pharmacy.. I found only this – [http://Ya right
