I’ve been working on an application recently which lets you create, configure, and run VMware virtual machines (it just forks out to VMware Player for the running part). It’s nearing usefulness now, so I thought I’d post some screenshots and stuff.

You need either qemu or vmware-vdiskmanager installed in order to create new hard disks, and it probably fails pretty badly currently if you don’t. If I get a chance, I may write my own stuff to create the hard disks (the format is a public spec, woo!). Anyway, you can get it from the vmx-manager module in gnome CVS.
