vmware on debian 3.1 sarge

Posted by chris on March 13th, 2007 in Linux

Well I’ve been having some good luck with tutorials lately. Usually the linux tutorials I find are crap. I mean let’s face it the documentation for most open source projects sucks. Oh okay RTFM, well the manual sucks okay. So ReWrite TFM (except for Gentoo, you guys rock on documentation). Anyways I found some good one’s lately. One of those described how to setup vmware on debian. I’ve been interested in virtualizing my linux server for a while now. With out going into a lot of detail on why I’ll just say cause it’s just cool I guess. This how to forge article posted by Falko Timme in October of 2006 does a great job of walking you step by step. I’ve archived the article on my site just in case.

And here is a rather unexciting pic of me installing a debian vm.

    If you’ve configured your vm hosts to use NAT with DHCP you can edit the dhcp range here: /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf
