== Officially Supported Guest Operating Systems ==
Guest operating systems fall into two categories, officially supported and unsupported. As with host operating systems, just because a guest operating system is not officially supported does not necessarily mean that it won't run as a guest operating system in VMware Server 2.0 virtual machine. For example, Windows Server 2008 Fedora Linux is not, at the time of writing, an officially supported guest operating system, yet based on testing it appears to functions function perfectly well within this environmenta VMware Server 2.0 virtual machine. With this information in minf, the following table lists the current officially supported guest operating systems:
