Hi,

I use vmware server on linux.
It runs fine. It starts as a service. You just have to answer a few 
questions to start it up.

you can download *FREE* vmware server licenses from vmware.com
make sure gcc is installed. Yum install gcc (I use CentOS)

then run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
this guides you through the install.

start it with /usr/bin/vmware and/or set it in services.
It's pretty easy as Jeff says.

Post to the list and i'll help out where I can.

This is if you want virtualisation. If you want a remote display then 
there are different options... like VNC.
Ben
