Hum maybe that can be useful for some people, but why should RHAT be the people providing it. It's only quite recently IIRC that vmware made a free (not Free) player. Anyone with the full vmware paid-for can install their own test OS. Hm look Dec 12th 2005 http://www.vmware.com/news/releases/player.html So the FC3 -> FC4 thing couldn't've been done anyway for folks that didn't have full vmware and they're the folks that can do an install themselves. Also in vmware the guest OS gets a fake set of peripherals that is always the same, it tells them a limited amount about compatibility with their physcial hardware to run the thing in vmware and physical hardware support is where many problems seem to be coming from. Vmware question is like flash (Macromedia type of flash) again, not sure why it's Fedora's business to be doing proprietary content production free player or not. -Andy
