I am looking into utilizing VMWare for our developers whom run linux as a host operating system to be able to utilize VMWare 5.5
to have windows installed. We currently have two developers utilizing the 30 day workstation trial. One user is running Debian
Unstable/Testing hybrid and it works great. The other is running the same but on a 64-bit machine (although running in 32-bit
compatibility mode) and he has been able to get TinyFeather Linux to install in the VMWare Workstation, but Windows continually
gets stuck at different points during the installation.

Anyone here vouch for VMWare on debian as a host for Windows 2000, Windows XP ? Any known issues and known workarounds ? Any other
distro's that you run as a host that work great?

Thanks,

Zach
