[newbie] VMware 2 run Linux/Win together!

[Drake X]

Anyone know anything about VMware? I was looking at their website 
(vmware.com) recently. They say you can run both Linux and MS Windows on 1 
computer at the same time in their own virtual desktops! They have a 30 day 
Linux trial copy to download. I don't know what happens after the trial 
period ends though.
