Changes

VMware provide the software distribution in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions so it will be important to identify the CPU architecture of the host computer before downloading the software. The VMware software is also distributed as either a compressed (gzipped) tar or Red Hat Package Management (rpm) archive. The archive type to select is as much about personal preference as anything else, although users with non-Red Hat derived Linux distributions may be more included to opt for the compressed tar archive.
