Linux on VMware

I don't want to re-install my OS on my laptops, so what I am going to do is to use VMware for my Linux testing. It turns out that there are already sites that have VMware images for Linux.

thoughtpolice has quite a comprehensive list. Check it out here.

I'm using the one for CentOS since it is based on Redhat and Redhat is the Linux flavour supported by my company's apps.

I'm also going to try on openSuse since it is based on SLES which is another flavour of Linux supported by my company's apps. For openSUSE, I will be installing it from scratch. I got my ISO download from here.

openSUSE is the freeware version of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES). To find out the differences, check out this link.
