    I am using VMWARE 4.5 workstation under Debian/testing 2.4.24 Sid --
    works absolutely flawlessly on my Thinkpad X31 (I have Windowx XP as the
    Guest OS running under VMWARE to run all those nasty Windows apps I
    can't get a good equivalent for under Linux <yet> :) ).

    Peripherals-wise, I have gotten everything working (CD, network, etc.)
    under the Guest OS -- with the exception that sound is slightly flaky,
    but I haven't played with it that much because it my current application
    sound isn't that important for the Guest OS.

    I'm a big VMWARE fan.... I've used it under Debian, RH, and Windows XP,
    and VMware does a great job. The install was easy and without incident
    under Debian Sid.
