Install and Run Ubuntu on VMWare Player

This was my first attempt installing a Linux operating system, and I decided to run it over VMWare on top of my Windows XP system. Its the perfect way for me to trial an operating system without changes to my system boot-up. This post shows how I got the Guest OS Ubuntu 8.10 (Desktop) running on the Host OS Windows XP (32-bit). And it was fairly easy it turned out.
