Hi,

Does anyone know how to run VM Player on a PC with Red Hat Linux installed, which then loads an XP virtual desktop, giving the impression that only XP is running on the PC and not actually a virtual desktop with the Linux OS?

Cheers

Read through Ulli's site for information on running Player in kiosk-mode. http://www.sanbarrow.com/

Is there a section about how to do this on Linux, I might just be blind and missed it on the site you provided!

Not really sure... Ulli and myself are primarily Windows guys. The settings for the virtual machine itself should be the same... just have to figure out any host OS-specific settings.

Cool, it sounds exactly what I'm looking for for, but I don't know how to do it in Linux....

I started to look into Linux Livesystems with VMware but the Windows-version is still way better
