This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install VMware Server 2

Windows, FreeBSD, etc. under a host operating system. This has the
benefit that you can run multiple operating systems on the same
hardware which saves a lot of money, and you can move virtual machines
from one VMware Server to the next one (or to a system that has the
