I'm buying vmware workstation to install on my ununtu 8.04 (64-bit)

Here's what I have to go on.

1) Workstation for Linux 64-bit
RPM Installation file for 64-bit Linux ( 334 MB )

2) Workstation for Linux 64-bit
Bundled Installation file for 64-bit Linux ( 344 MB )


Bundled installation,, assuming that's the .tar file (with either gz or
bz compression)

Thanks for your quick reply. Their release notes say they've got "32-bit
and 64-bit Ubuntu Linux 7.10 as host and guest operating systems" since
version 6.03. The one I just bought is 6.05. I'm wondering how much grief
I'll get from being on 8.04. Any idea?

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,
I've had no trouble at all getting any 6.x version of VMware Workstation
working on Hardy - just run ./vmware-install.pl and you *should* be good to
go. I'm curious though - why are you purchasing 6.0.x when 6.5.x is out and
especially awesome?
