2. INSTALLING VMWARE PRODUCTS FOR LINUX 

 Please visit http://www.vmware.com/support/linux/doc/quickstart_linux/ for
 help getting started installing VMware Workstation.

 At the time of this release the Linux host operating systems officially
 supported by VMware Workstation are --

      Caldera 1.3, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4
      Red Hat 5.x and 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2
      SuSE 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4

 For a complete list of guest operating systems supported by 
 VMware Workstation see
 http//www.vmware.com/support/reference/common/guest_list.html.

 VMware Workstation will run on some other Linux distributions and 
 versions; however, it may require some expertise to correctly install and 
 configure VMware Workstation on these systems.
 
 If you are running on a Symmetric Multi-Processor (SMP) host system,
 VMware Workstation will fail to run unless you are using a Linux 2.2.x 
 kernel.

 VMware Workstation absolutely requires glibc support on the host 
 operating system. Errors such as "no such file or directory" when trying to 
 run VMware Workstation, even though the 'vmware' executable is installed, 
 is a symptom of not having glibc support or of having incorrectly installed 
 or damaged dynamic libraries.  Some Linux operating systems (including 
 Caldera 1.3) do not install glibc support as standard, check the 
 documentation for your distribution.

3. GETTING HELP

 For help trouble shooting, please consult the information on our Web site at 
 http://www.vmware.com/support/linux/troubleshooting/

 VMware, Inc. hosts a series of newsgroups, including discussions of problems, 
 for VMware users from a news server at news.vmware.com. See
 http://www.vmware.com/support/using/newsgroups.html.

 Support for VMware Workstation 3.1.1 for Linux is available
 free of charge to registered users. Please visit
 http://www.vmware.com/support/support.html for information on 
 VMware Workstation support and how to report problems with 
 VMware Workstation 3.1.1 for Linux.

 VMware, Inc. especially wants to know about fatal errors with messages
 like "NOT IMPLEMENTED" or "ASSERT".  These failures will typically
 be associated with a file coding like F(123):456, or else with an
 offset like "Assert failed at 0x987654".  If you get a message like
 "Bug F(123):456 BugNr=789" then this failure is associated with a bug
 that VMware, Inc. is already aware of. In either case, please open a problem
 incident report at http://www5.vmware.com/forms/Incident_Login.cfm
 and include the log file and vmware-core core file if a core file was
 generated. The log file will either be named vmware-log or 
 <config file>.log where <config file> is the name you gave to your 
 VMware configuration.
