The 30 March 2007 build is out.
devilsclaw:
yeah it runs on linux fine. but you should try having the newest version.
otherwise you will have to patch the drivers your self to get them working.
every since kernel 2.6.19 i had to patch the current drivers for the vmware im using.
not sure if i have the most current since 6.0 is supposed to be out soon if its not already.

The easiest way to do it is to create an empty virtual machine at EasyVMX.com, put the Linux install CD in your CD drive, and load the vmx file in VMWare Player. It should boot from the CD automatically, and you can install your distro and be ready to go.

Thanks for the info. My purpose is to use it to compile and test C::B while I'm on Windows. :)

You may as well want to have a look at VirtualBox
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox
http://www.virtualbox.org/
Here is an interesting article called "VirtualBox vs. Qemu vs. Vmware-player"
http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=56
To compile and test C::B under windows AndLinux might also be interesting.

Thanks raph. :)
Already Morten told me about VirtualBox. But I couldn't try this. I'll surely try it in future. :)

andLinux is simply incredible. I you it daily now. It works faster than VMWare by a lot for me. I have not tried VirtualBox, but I love that it is open-source. If it works as good as VMWare I will probably never use VMWare again.
