[plug] VMWare and L:inux

[Bret Busby]

To clarify what I have posted regarding VMWare and Debian, the following 
I have just copied from the web page at 
http://www.vmware.com/products/desktop/ws_specs.html#hostos

Linux Host Operating Systems
Supported distributions and kernels are listed below. VMware Workstation 
may not run on systems that do not meet these requirements.

Note: As newer Linux kernels and distributions are released, VMware 
modifies and tests its products for stability and reliability on those 
host platforms. We make every effort to add support for new kernels and 
distributions in a timely manner, but until a kernel or distribution is 
added to the list below, its use with our products is not supported. 
Look for newer prebuilt modules in the download area of our Web site.

     * Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 - stock 2.4.9-e3
