http://partnerweb.vmware.com/comp_guide2/pdf/VMware_HOS_Compatibility_Guide.... Do you see reference to Fedora?;)
Once upon a time I was playing with this freeware, https://www.vmware.com/support/server2/doc/releasenotes_vmserver202.html End of General Support - June 30, 2011. Great experience!
However, you already have a choice to use Libvirt/QEMU-KVM/Virtual Machine Manager/Boxes/WhatNot and VirtualBox, so. Besides, here I didn't notice an explanation of why people use VMware and not the other two solutions, in the first place.
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,
