If you are using VMwareŽ Workstation 3.x, VMware GSX Server 2.x, VMware ESX Server 1.x or an earlier VMware product, see the user's manual that came with your product for instructions on installing guest operating systems supported by that product.
This guide covers Workstation 4.0, VMware ACE, GSX Server 3.0, ESX Server 2.0 and later products.
The section for each guest operating system begins with a note indicating which VMware products support use of the operating system in a virtual machine. Operating systems that are not included in this guide are not supported for use under the VMware products covered by the guide.
