VMware needs no introduction, so I won't do any :-). If you need to know more about it, visit their official website.

VMware Server is my favorite virtualization product. Unfortunately VMware doesn't release it in ".deb" format, so I decided to fill the gap.

To avoid problems with VMware's license, these packages don't actually contain the software, but they download and install it from the official site.

To get instructions on using my repository with apt and/or further informations, see the related section.
