I've noticed getting Vmware, IMHO, is harder to get setup than the 2 minutes it takes to get COO setup. At the same time, COO costs $40.
The only trouble with vmware is that you need to get the kernel modules installed. Especially on suse 9.0 that seems to be a big problem, since some patch suse has introduced in the kernel seems to break the default vmware modules. This recipe works for me though run vmware-config.pl Install the kernel-source package that corresponds to your kernel cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper make cloneconfig make dep install km_vmware.rpm cd /usr/src/kernel-modules/vmware make -f Makefile.module su to root make -f Makefile.module install /etc/init.d/vmware stop check that all vmware modules have been unloaded (possibly reboot, if they won't unload) /etc/init.d/vmware start run vmware It won't run all windows programs, the ones with high demands on graphics like Ghost Recon and things have barfed for me, but it's good enough for most things.
