San Francisco, CA--No Starch Press, Inc., computer book publisher, and
VMware, the global leader in virtualization software for Intel computers,

VMWARE WORKSTATION (February 2002, 1-886411-72-7, $39.95, 354 pp., No Starch
Press, http://www.nostarch.com/?vmware). VMware Workstation allows users to
run multiple operating systems (and their applications) simultaneously on a
single computer, increasing productivity and flexibility. Until now, there
has been little documentation for the over 750,000 users of VMware
Workstation 3.0.

use the product, but also how to configure, network and integrate your
virtual machines."-EDOUARD BUGNION, CO-FOUNDER AND CHIEF ARCHITECT AT VMWARE,
INC.

THE BOOK OF VMWARE is a comprehensive guide to everything from installation
and device configuration (on guest operating systems) to file transfers and
networking. Readers learn how to:

* Get the most out of Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and other guest systems
* Set up VMware devices such as virtual disks, ethernet interfaces, USB
devices, and more
* Optimize guest system performance with the VMware Tools
* Configure the host and guest system networks
* Troubleshoot common problems
* Set up dual configuration systems
* Seamlessly share files between host and guest systems

The CD-ROM includes a demo version of VMware for Windows and Linux, as well
as many of the utilities discussed in the book. 

With THE BOOK OF VMWARE as a guide, users spend more time working without a
glitch. Available from bookstores or No Starch Press (1-800-420-7240,
