I just assumed it would be better than the free open source application. 
Maybe it is but I don't see much difference. I believe VMware deals with 
the mouse/cursor a bit more conveniently, less messing with the right 
CTRL key. :-\

Ok, so more specifically, Fedora Linux users are not supported, I guess 
I need a Centos 6 computer which is what I was shooting for a few days 
ago. I need to partition the other computer with its' terabyte drive. I 
haven't done that yet, it runs F-19 and I want to be certain I have all 
the needed information extracted from it.

Thanks,

Bob
