Want to play with Linux?

Recently VMWARE has released it's 'player' application onto the general public as a freebie...

Run any virtual machine

VMware Player lets you evaluate new or pre-release software contained in virtual machines, without any installation or configuration hassles. You can also share existing virtual machines with colleagues or friends—just use VMware Player to run any virtual machine.
What is a virtual machine?

A virtual machine is a computer defined in software. It's like running a PC on your PC. VMware Player runs any virtual machine created by VMware Workstation, GSX Server or ESX Server. VMware Player also supports Microsoft virtual machines and Symantec LiveState Recovery disk formats.


There are several 'Official' images available from the VMware site, that you can download and try : Ubuntu Linux, Red Hat, SUSE Linux... Totally no destructive - give it a go!
