As I have presented in last post, the installation of VMware Player on WinXP is easily done in some simple steps. Today, we will study how to run a VMware appliance on Windows using VMware Player. In this case, I will run the latest version of Ubuntu Linux. At the time when I'm writing this post, the latest version of Ubuntu Linux is Feisty 7.04.
Step 1: download image of Feisty 7.04
In this example, I have downloaded Ubuntu Desktop 7.04 for i386 . However, you can try with any image of Ubuntu Linux from this list.
Step 2: open VMware player
Goto Start -> Programs -> VMware -> VMware Player
Leave the choice on Create and click "OK" (asked only in the first time)
Ubuntu will start up ...
Step 3: try Ubuntu Feisty in your virtual machine
Click inside VMware Player to use your machine and hit Ctrl-Alt to get back out
Do you like it? Now, you can try Linux or evaluate any Linux software applications quickly without installation any thing because the virtual machines are independent platform.
Please go back to read more on this topic presented in some next parts. Thanks for your reading!
