Hi Diego, > How to make new images for this tool...? (evaluating other vmware > products...?)
Quite simple. Use QEMU to create those images. I use it all the times: creating images with QEMU and using them with the player (or with commercial VMWare) and vice versa. The VMWare settings files are simple text file and can be easily to learn. As regarding to "competition" between VMWare and QEMU that I saw mentioned here. Well, There isn't really a "competition" here. If someone don't want to pay for VMWare (workstation) and still want to use it, all he needs to do is to create the images with QEMU, hack some config files and feed it to the player, and you have a free solution. QEMU these days (I'm following it closely) is very different application from VMWare. All what VMWare does is let you run your favorite X86 based OS as a guest with some services to your host OS (USB, Parallel, sound, Network, etc..), while QEMU let you install and run many more OS's for totally different processors, be it: ARM, Sparc32, Sparc64, MIPS 4K, PowerPC, etc in 2 ways: either in user-level mode or system level mode. It's far from perfect, but it's continuely being developed. It's also a "test bed" for new ideas in emulations, just few weeks ago, Fabrice (the genius guy who created QEMU and also wrote FFMPEG that almost every Linux and other OS's media player uses these days) has committed an interesting feature: Emulation of up to 255 X86 processors for your guest OS. I don't know any OS's that support such a number of CPU's, but it's surely a good feature for testing your SMP development, and it's not available on any other competing applications.
