A guide to install vmware I usually follow is this one: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-ins...sy-gibbon.html

If you want to try other vm software that would probably be easier to install try virtualbox.

Another one I tend to use is qemu. To install it run:

sudo apt-get install qemu-launcher qemu

To install VMWare Server on Ubuntu try this link here

For desktop virtualization on Ubuntu I recommend using VirtualBox instead of VMWare. It is another product that does the same thing. To install VirtualBox type this at the command line.

sudo apt-get install virtualbox

Then go to System -> Administration -> Users and Groups, unlock the utility with your admin password click "Manage Groups." Find the Vbox group and add your user to that group. You can then create Virtuals with VirtualBox.
