Linux-headers-2.6.26-2-amd64 (or other version according to your installed kernel)Īnd install dependent packages as well, with them and with a bare bone install you’re able to install vmware server v2
Login as root and start with the configuration RequirementsĪs a prerequisite you need to have these packages installed: binutils Take a look carefully at the download page and grab the 64bit version, 32bit on a 64bit system doesn’t work at all (without 32 compat libs but we don’t want them).
tar.gz, it’s working and it’s good for us. tar.gz source and RPM packages, just download the common. No deb packages are available from VMWare Site, only. VMWare Server is now declared stable, at the date release 2.0.1 is available for 64 bit Operating Systems. Lenny with AMD64 flavor is not a surprise, it’s a well documented and a stable release, so proceed forward with a common installation, you don’t need a lot of software, just proceed with a bare bone install (no X, no additional software), when it just boots you’re set. I’ve just installed a Debian Lenny (v5.0) host with AMD64 flavor, so a 64bit compiled OS on a brand new Xeon Quad Core, a bunch of ram (8Gb), hw raid array with hot swap and spare disks as well in short: HP Proliant DL180G5 machine, hp basic config with no fancy features but stable and fast enough for a Debian host. I don’t need to run guest 64bit OSes (yet) but 64bit native support is fine if you’ve a recent CPU and you’d like to take advantage of new servers outta there, and most important you can use a stable and working real 64bit application on your 64bit Debian system. Everybody knows about VMWare Server, now with stable 2.x version my favorite feature is 64bit host native support.
