Geez, I didn't know there are so many out there :)

Any idea of how many of those offer images to use with vmware player?

I had no idea either! Looks like there's lots to play with.

I don't know which ones are VMWare image-capable in the player, but I do
know that you can edit the player images currently available and add your
own image sources. I think I read a thread about it (poss. here in ACF) but
I am sure Google would point to the right sorts of URLs.

Well, yes there are plenty of ways out there to create images for the
vmware player without having the full version. But the problem with
those is that they are missing the vmware drivers. And without those
the images won't run as smooth. Mouse controll for example is pretty
bad if you don't have the proper drivers.

Most likely none of them,since they were created for *LINUX USERS*, not Windows
Wankers who run crapware like vmware player and expect to be taken seriously.

Generally they are used to test the compatibility of a distro with one's
system. No one wants to get part-way through an install only to find that
a goodly bit of their hardware is not supported.

They also serve as a means of 'playing' with a distro without disturbing
your current OS/Config.

Which is what I use vmware for. To let me play with other operating
systems without screwing my own up. I appreciate your response, but I
sorta asked the question rhetorically in response to the linux or die
poster. *grin*

That poster is a Windows user pretending to be a particularly harsh
pro-Linux troll. Check his X-Newsreader header.
