 - The /tools/vmware directory has installation packages and a pointer to the URL to sign up for a VMware Evaluation Key. VMware Player and Server are for windows, and VMWare Fusion is for Mac. VMware Player is free, but can only play existing VMs, not create new ones. Recent (2 weeks before RailsConf 2008) trial keys are in this directory, but they may not work.

- - For Windows, install VMware Player or Server. For server, you will start the client app, and connect to the local server.

   - For Mac, install the VMware fusion .dmg file.
0
+ - For Windows, install VMware Player, it's the easiest way to open a pre-created VM. If you want to create VMs from scratch, you'll have to use VMware server, but this is more complicated, and you're mostly on your own. Important hints: 1) Userid/Password for web ui are your local OS id/pw. 2) To open an existing VM, copy the *.vmwarevm folder to your 'datastore' - find the local directory for this in the "summary" page.
