3. Installing VMWare Server 2
First things first. To install VMWare Server 2, you need to install
three packages: build-essential, linux-headers-server, and xinetd. If
linux-headers-server does not point to the headers of the kernel you are
using, install the correct ones. I had to install
"linux-headers-2.6.27-7-server". You can check what kernel version you
are currently running with "uname -r".
