VMware Server RC2 Adds OS Support

With the release of VMware Server RC2 (build 27828) comes a new list of host and guest operating system support. One of the most amazing features of VMware GSX Server has always been its huge list of supported host and guest operating systems. It seems as though its successor product, VMware Server, is living up to the challenge of stressing out its rivals as it continues to expand on its evolving matrix of supported operating systems.

VMware Server RC2 adds the following support:

• Full support for SUSE Linux 10.1 as host and guest operating systems.


• Full support for 32-bit Ubuntu 6.x as host and guest operating systems.


• Full support for 32-bit Sun Solaris 10.x as guest operating systems.


• Full support for 32-bit and 64-bit FreeBSD 6.0 as guest operating systems.


• Experimental support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 Update 8 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 Update 4.


• Experimental support for 64-bit Ubuntu 6.x as host and guest operating systems.


• Experimental support for 64-bit Sun Solaris 10.x as guest operating systems.
