Just Completed Installing a fresh fedora 11 on my Dell Laptop.The Hardware says:

Code:

[root@localhost Download]# uname -arn
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Wed May 27 17:28:22 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
You have mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[root@localhost Download]#

I wanted to explore Vmware ESX (Free Download) on my Linux Machine.
What Package I need to install on Fedora ?

You have to use the "vmware server" version if you want to install it on top of fedora. ESX is a full operating system (based on rhel 3, as far as i know). If you have Fedora 11 you could also use kvm (or XEN, but not out of the box).
