How To Install VMware Server On A Mandriva Free 2007 Desktop
This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install VMware Server
on a Mandriva Free 2007 desktop system. With VMware Server you can
create and run guest operating systems (”virtual machines”) such as
Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, etc. under a host operating system. This has
the benefit that you can run multiple operating systems on the same
hardware which saves a lot of money, and you can move virtual machines
from one VMware Server to the next one (or to a system that has the
VMware Player which is also free).

How To Compile A Kernel - The Mandriva Way
Each distribution has some specific tools to build a custom kernel from
the sources. This article is about compiling a kernel on Mandriva
systems. It describes how to build a custom kernel using the latest
unmodified kernel sources from www.kernel.org (vanilla kernel)
so that you are independent from the kernels supplied by your
distribution. It also shows how to patch the kernel sources if you need
features that are not in there.

which can save a lot of trouble.
