How to install linux redhat enterprise 5 in VMWARE on windows xp installed


Hi,
Can any one guide me where i can download the latest free Vmware workstation to install red hat enterprise 5 on windows xp installed system. is it possible??? Because i am using dual boot in my laptop. i am practicing linux. But i am unable to connect my usb modem in linux. So if i want to check anything in the internet i need to login in xp. So it's being a big problem for me. is there any way to use both os in a single login. Please help me..

and in a VM you will never be able

wireless is not seen by VM's

also if you DO NOT intend on PAYING for the NOT FREE RHEL6
then DO NOT USE IT !!!!!
you will NEVER be able to install software on a UNREGISTERED and unlicensed copy

install one of the FREE rebuilds
CentOS6.3
ScientificLinux6.3


if this IS a dual boot with RHEL6 and xp
if you DO NOT pay for the support contract then you CAN NOT install software for that usb modem

PAY for the support
and contact red hat support
the30 day trial ( you NEED to register )
grants you access to it

Also RHEL6 is designed for a HEADLESS SERVER and NOT for a laptop
NOT everything is going to work!

RHEL will mostly run on most laptops BUT some things MIGHT not work or not work well

ask the sales rep if your hardware IS FULLY supported .
