[Tfug] VMware Stuff

[Charles R. Kiss]

So, if I have an i686, with a Sarge kernel and grub, with a Windows XP, 
dual boot system, does the Free VMWare Server get underneath all that 
without messing up my Linux OS and its applications?  Once I install it, 
do I have to login/logout of each OS, or are there two or more windows 
running separate and simultaneous Microsoft and Linux applications?  Is 
it important to format and/or partition drives, or can I just download 
and install the new Etch kernel at anytime? Shouldn't I just start from 
scratch and get a new computer with a 64bit processor?

Thanks, as always,
Charles
