Just the vmware console

[tbrothers]

I'm running Ubuntu server 7.10 and gnome 2.2

Does anyone know if the vmware console can be installed without installing vmware server? All I want to do is manage vmware servers from my workstation.

it can, and precisely for what you want to use it for : manage virtual machines running on a remote server

I don't know exactly how as I've never set it up like that, but I think what you need is the vmware-mui-distrib - i think it's a part of the vmware server tarbal.
I don't know whether this is in the 7.10 repos, and if so, how it's packaged, but you can search in synaptic or with 'apt-cache search vmware'
