John:
I use Workstation 6.5.2 daily with no issues. I use Window-eyes and it runs beautifully, no issues with the video drivers so long as VMWare Tools is installed and working. I run Workstation on Windows, but the VM formats are the same between Server and Workstation. You shouldn't have any issues.

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] upgrading from vmware server2 to workstation
I'm thinking of giving vmware workstation a try because I've heard that jaws
works well in a virtual machine if you have vmware workstation. I currently
use the free product, server2. Jaws does not work well with a Windows
virtual machine created with server2. Specifically, the jaws cursor doesn't
work. I believe that's because the video intercept driver won't install.
Anyway, here are my questions:
1. Has anyone used jaws in a virtual machine in vmware workstation? Does the
jaws cursor work?
2. I believe I need to have either fedora or Red Hat, not debian, on my
machine to use vmware workstation. Is that correct?
3. Can I backup my server2 virtual machines and then restore them after I've
upgraded to workstation?
