Linux and VMWare?

[Dan Lund]

Well, it's a good environment to get your hands dirty, but it's not quite the same since it's entirely virtualized.  There are quite a few things you can't do in a virtualized session such as virtualization technologies.

If you just want to fiddle with it to touch it, you're fine.  If you want to learn about operating it on a computer, it's not.
