How To Install VMware Server (Version 1.0.6) On A Fedora 9 Desktop This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install VMware Server (version 1.0.6) on a Fedora 9 desktop system. With VMware Server you can create and run guest operating systems ("virtual machines") such as Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, etc. under a host operating system. This has the benefit that you can run multiple operating systems on the same hardware which saves a lot of money, and you can move virtual machines from one VMware Server to the next one (or to a system that has the VMware Player which is also free).

I had no problem using the VMWare server RPM on Fedora 9 (kernel 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686). After installing the RPM, I ran /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl without issue.
Is there a specific reason you recommended not using the RPM?
Of course you can use the RPM.
Best regards,

I used this post as a guide to install VMware Server 1.0.6 on Fedora 9 using the PAE kernel 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686.PAE. No problems, imported utility Win2K virtual machine from a VMware Desktop system and was off and running.
After getting a successful install I looked under Applications > System Tool for VMware Server Console, but it's not there. Any clues to why and what I should do to fix it?
Yap, mine too. :\
Anyone knows where can we start it?
I have the same problem...
I guess you've installed VMware Server 2 instead of VMware Server 1 (this tutorial is about VMware Server 1).
VMware Server 2 does not come as a desktop application, it's web-based instead. Please take a look at this tutorial: How To Install VMware Server 2 On A Fedora 9 Desktop
Thanks for the free information. it was clear, and well laid out. The screen shots were also an added help. Free help and free software is what these communities are what it is all about.
Thanks,
