It's probably best *not* to copy the Vmware demo, and instead obtain it from either the SuSE Linux distro or else from the Vmware site itself. If you want to buy it afterwards, you can then just pay the money for the license (well worth the cash I think) or just not use it at all. Free/Open Source does not mean that we can treat such software, or commercial software for that base, as copyright free. I don't mean to sound dull, but it's just I've seen a lot of Linux users go down this track for a while now, and they take software such as Vmware and think that because it is in with Linux mags, distributions or other disks etc., they can copy it. Not so. I'm sure no-one here would advocate that at all though :-) Vmware is an excellent piece of software though, and I'm going to be buying the workstation edition soon myself. I've already tried out the demo, and it works very well. Anyway, if push comes to shove, I know that there are many on this list who could send on a full copy of the SuSE distro with it on, or some other magazine disk for you to try it from. Good luck anyways!! Paul Using that damned Windows 2000 Server right now :-/
