How to install VMware Server 2.0 on RHEL5

VMware products are very well documented and easy to use, cause of this i'm not going to explain all the installation that i've done but share some tricks with you.

- My RHEL5 server has dual NICs and it has bond0 as a network interface, after installing vmware server wit rpm -ivh VMware-server-2.0.1-156745.i386.rpm , you're going to need to configure it with vmware-config.pl and this perl scripts guide to configure host server system. I didn't realize it offered mt eth0 as primary NIC and i had some trouble with accessing network from guest OS, then i realize i didn't pick the correct NIC, so please remember you need to select bond0 as your primary host NIC if you have more than 1 NIC on your server.

In additionally,

I had an idea that about installing VMware Server to my Sun N240 server which has Debian Sparc on it. Unfortunatly VMware server does not support Sparc CPU as virtulizer. However i installed the server but couldn't achieve start it because of the CPU. Keep that mind, VMware Server doesn't support Sparc or Power CPU architectures as virtualizer.
