It been ten years since I've installed a virtual machine under Linux, 
and things have changed.

I downloaded and ran VMware-Player-3.1.1-282343.x86_64.bundle to 
install VMware Player with success.

Howver, I have trouble starting it. I have no desktop. Does that make 
a differnce?  

  $ vmplayer &
  [1] 25824
  haines@engels:~$ /usr/bin/vmplayer: line 35: 25827 Segmentation fault
  "$BINDIR"/vmware-modconfig --appname="VMware Player"
  --icon="vmware-player"

Is this a bug in the Player? Or must it be started by root?

  $ sudo vmplayer &
  [2] 25851

The second command starts a vmware process, but I gather I should 
expect a VMware window to pop up.

I would like to run Windows 7 or 8 in a virtual machine. Any way to 
get it cheaply?
