I have purchased Linux 7.2 Pro, and I cant install it, In
the graphics mode I get a blank screen, In text mode I get an error saying cannot mount CD-ROM, I come from a Windows background so I dont know how to fix the problem.

I have a little program written in C and runs in linux, is there a Linux emulator that I can use.

does it matter bout which 1, GSX Server, ESX Server or Workstation

You'll probably want to use the workstation version unless you plan to set up your computer as a server.

what os is on the apple computer, and can i use vmware on that?, also is there a way i can tell vmware on to create a 10GB HDD files, so i can share the files with my XP OS?

 

[V0lt]

Apple comptuers use MacOS, which if you're using less than version 10 will be a breed of it's own. If you're using 10 or above it is a hybrid MacOS and Unix platform. I do not think that MacOS will take to vmware, since apple hardware is completely different and you would need a Mac emulator with a ROM image in order to make that work.
