Re: creating multiple OS's using open source vmware on linux
thanks for the reply. i was reading up on this more. it looks like i need to use freeware VM server with no client/console. im setting up this linux server to run vnc so ppl can connect to it remotely and use one of the 6 vm images on the server..
just to clarify.. does this mean i have to reinstall the OS image a total of 6 times?
also can somone please point me into some simple/guided step by step instructions on how to install vmware on linux?
Plus, it's designed around having multiple clients connect. It comes packaged with client programs that you can use to connect to the main server. I believe you can also clone images within the software (if not, it's pretty simply to copy the images at the OS level too), so there's no need to reinstall an operating system 6 times.
