[ale] vmware server vs. workstation

[Greg Freemyer]

All,

I installed vmware server under opensuse 10.2 last Friday.  Seems to
working as designed.  Maybe a little slow, I'm still getting my XP
guest patched with all the Windows updates, so I can't say for sure.

Anyway, I just read a year old blog post that was explaining the
difference, and I'm wondering if I should have installed workstation
version instead of server?

FYI: It said at the time that workstation ran a lot faster than
server.  Still true?

My needs:
Run desktop apps that I don't have linux equivalents for.
Multiple snapshots would be nice so I can install something and revert easily.
I doubt I keep any primary data in the VM.  I'll SMB mount a data
drive for all of that.

Thanks
Greg
