You can run VM on an iMAC, easily. I don't think it's free though.Originally posted by NetwkSupport View PostI work with VMware and want to learn more at home but only have an iMac at home.

VMware Fusion - it's not free, but it's cheap.And the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.Comment

Bear in mind that you are probably wanting to get to know VMware ESX. I think you are talking about VMware workstation which is a completely different kettle of fish. You can install ESX on VMware workstation, here is a link on how to do that

the www.xtravirt.com site has a document on how to install vSPhere 4 on VMware workstation but I cant find the link - I'll let you google it.Comment
