Hi guys,
Maybe I'm over enthusiastic, but I was wondering. I'm running 32bit SUSE 10.1 on a 64bit machine. I know I can't run 64bit binaries on 32bit OS, but is it possible to run a 64bit guest OS inside VMware? I mean, is the x86_64 instruction set available to VMware?
With VMware workstation running on a 64Bit OS then you can install 64Bit virtual machines. Last time I looked the beta VMware server would only allow 32Bit guests, although I believe they were working towards getting 64Bit to work. I somehow don't think running VMware on 32Bit suse will allow 64Bit guests even through you are running on 64Bit hardware. I have Vmware running on suse10.1 64bit with suse 10.1 64bit running a a guest without problems although I haven't tested USB support as mentioned earlier in the week on this list..
