Installed Vmware Server (beta) this weekend on my gentoo box (2005.1 with a 2.6.14 kernel) and am having some early success with it. I have always been a big fan of Vmware workstation and am enjoying setting up the GSX-like version of vmware now.
I ran in to one small hitch during post-installation of the vmware-console. Make sure you comment out the only_from argument in the/etc/xinetd.conf file - my xinetd.conf file is below:
# /etc/xinetd.conf: sample configuration file for xinetd
defaults
{
# only_from = localhost
instances = 60
log_type = SYSLOG authpriv info
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
cps = 25 30
}
This will allow you to connect remotely from other ip addresses within your LAN. Other than that all works well...
