Yep, its works but still i need some assessment for other program to test whether it will works to under this combination. The setup for the VMWare just as simple as the following:
1. Install the supporting component
- apt-get install libx11-6 libx11-dev libxtst6 xlibs-dev xinetd wget (dont forget to sudo)
- apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential
2. Download VMWare server for linux (tar file 100 MB) and register to get the registration key
- http://register.vmware.com/content/registration.html
Follow the link, register and download the VMWare Server for Linux, the registration key will be provided at the end of the session.
3. Untar your file in your prefered folder and install VMW by invoke the following command
- ./vmware-install.pl
4. Follow the default installation, I have some installation problem by customizing the installation option. Keep your registration handy ( copy and paste your regkey from the web to text editor, it will be required at the end of installation)
5. VMWare Installation Done
6. Install WinXP
- Insert your Windows (XP) CD into your CDROM drive
- Open the VMware Server Console
- select 'Create a new virtual machine > Next > Next > Select Windows Xp
- > Next > Enter a name and select a location for the Virtual Machine File (It contains the virtual harddisk, so it needs quite some space, min 2 GB, but I would recommend 8+ GB )
- > Next > Select Network type > Next > Choose the size for the Virtual Disk and set other preferences
- > Next > Finish
8. If You want to enable the sound for your WinXP you had to add the sound device at Edit Virtual Machine Settings option the before you Power On your WinXP.
Then enjoy your Windows under Ubuntu....Linux Rules, Ubuntu Rules.

Yo mate,
How's going ?
this is awesome. I'll try it at some other time.
BTW, Currently i'm trying to set up the networkmanager for a static IP network environment n Ubuntu Dapper.
After searching for a while, i found that networkmanagerisn't support the static IP enviroment...@@!!
It will after the 0.7 version released.....according to
http://live.gnome.org/DarrenAlbers/
NetworkManagerFAQ?highlight=%28networkmanager%29#head-c8b3f6905f51eed368b9c21893edabcc82531bbc
SO, i'm now thingking to update the dapper to lates version or clean install the lates version which now the alpha 3 is available.
Anyway keep in touch ....
Regards
Eric
Not bad mate,
What do you mean for static IP. You can set it up at the network manager right?
Anyway, i also setup for beryl on my ubuntu its really awesome mate. But still not stable yet. Coz, it always shows when blank screen when i watch movies for more than 10 minutes.
But it looks much better than vista i guess. Hahahah M$ sucks..
The static IP can't not be supported or manually set up by using the network-manager under dapper that if you disable the DHCP and want to assign a specific ip to clients in the router.
This is based on the Gnome network manager FAQ, where states that
NetworkManager has limited support for static IP addressing.
Configuration of static IPs is distribution specific and should use that distribution's normal network configuration methods.
For example, on Fedora Core, using the system-config-network tool or editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 to set a static IP up for the device 'eth1' would result in
NetworkManager using that static IP configuration whenever you connect to an access point using eth1. Obviously, since static IP configuration is always a manual task, NetworkManager is not able to automate the process in any way.
Better support of static IP addresses is planned and in-progress for NetworkManager 0.7.
If you are interested in, you could go on here (http://live.gnome.org/

and have a look of the question
How do I setup a static IP address with NetworkManager?
