Hi,

I wanted to try linux.
I have tried Ubuntu Live cd and like it so i want to install it for good.
But i had never installed another Operating system before and i didnt want to risk accidently messing up my OEM install of Xp home .

So a friend of mine recomended that i install VMware Workstation and he said i can run Ubuntu and i wouldnt need to create a partion and install linux as it would run as a Virtual machine.

Im a bit confused to what VMware Workstation actualy does.

Can anyone explain how VMware Workstation works?
Thanks
