--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you're a newcomer to VMware products, this book tells you exactly what VMware is all about, and how to setup your first Virtual Machines. You will learn about networking, virtual disks and more.
This book continues where the VMware manual stops: real life. Users are doing things with VMware that were not planned by the developers. This book fills the gaps between what users want to do and what is described in the manuals. This book introduces new uses for VMware, for example how to configure a cluster with NetWare and Windows, and how to perform Physical to Virtual conversions with simple low cost tools. The configurations in this book are explained in detail for VMware Workstation, based on version 5. Most topics also apply to VMware GSX Server and VMware ESX Server.
