Software — Linux Remote Client

Standard Linux installation is required with glibc version 2.1 or higher and one
of the following kernels:

For single-processor systems: kernel 2.0.32 or higher in the 2.0.x series, or

kernel in the 2.2.x, 2.4.x or 2.6.x series

For SMP systems: kernel in the 2.2.x, 2.4.x or 2.6.x series

Note: Linux kernel 2.2.14-5.0 is not supported.

Perl 5.005x or higher is required to use VmPerl API

X server is required to run the VMware Virtual Machine Console on the client

The VMware Management Interface requires one of these browsers:

Firefox 1.x

Mozilla 1.x

Netscape Navigator 7.0

Note: As new browser versions are released, VMware tests the management
interface for stability and reliability with these versions. We make every effort to
add support for new browser versions in a timely manner, but until a browser is
added to the above list, its use with our product is not supported. For the latest
system requirements, go to the VMware Web site at

VmPerl and VmCOM Scripting APIs
The VmPerl API includes the vmware-cmd utility. The VmCOM API works on
Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows NT clients only. For
