Looks like it "should" work. Am I going to have a lot of tinkering to do, or is it pretty much read to go out of the box?
I would not call it a turnkey solution. You have to configure how the guest system relates to the host, mostly in terms of disk allocation, networking and RAM allocation. It's very flexible and very powerful, which is another way of saying it can be daunting to get right. It is most certainly not for the technologically naive or faint-of-heart. Consider this: The virtual machine created by VMware has its own BIOS and its own complement of (virtual) hardware. All in all, it's a tech-head's dream, but if you just want some kind of plug-and-play, I'd think twice.
