Ubuntu and VMWare Workstation

[wakelt]

I have several questions regarding installation of Ubuntu 9.10 on top of VMWare Workstation:

1) can the Ubuntu .iso be on a memory stick, or does it need to be burned to a CD,
for installation on top of VMWare ??

2) VMWare workstation sits on top of Windows 7, 64 bit. Am I best off with 64 bit
Ubuntu or will the 32 bit install suffice ? I am not doing anything performance heavy
with Ubuntu, I am just playing with it to become more familar. I've heard such
great things.


thanks in advance;

1) the ISO can just be a file on your harddrive or on a usb drive, it doesnt matter. upon setting your VM just point it to the ISO on a drive somewhere. If this is workstation 7 it has an automated install process that makes everything just work...its awesome

2) either version will work, doesnt matter, you will see nearly NO difference in a VM
