Working with all that screen space is fantastic (especially with <a href=\"http:\/\/virtuedesktops.info\/\">4 virtual desktops<\/a>), except that I&#8217;ve got so used to it that the standard 1024&#215;768 pixels on the notebook PC that I use for work seems too small and an upgrade is out of the question as the PC is only 18 months old.<\/p>\n<p>For a while now, I&#8217;ve been running the notebook on the desk next to my main display but I&#8217;m running out of desk space.  As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2006\/06\/p2ving-my-notebook-pc-part-2.htm\">I virtualised my corporate Windows XP build<\/a> a while back, I thought it would be great if, when I&#8217;m working at home, I could run the Linux VMware Server Console on my Mac (which is connected to the large display).  The virtual machine would still be limited to 1024&#215;768 but I could access corporate applications in the VMware Server Console and do the big screen stuff (web, e-mail, document edits, etc.) natively on the Mac, using the whole display. Yes, I know that if I used Microsoft Virtual Server I could run it in a browser, but I&#8217;d need ActiveX and I&#8217;m not using Internet Explorer.  Similarly RDP is an option, but I find it to be a bit flaky on an Intel Mac.  Anyway, I&#8217;m a (pseudo-)geek and so I need to feed on problems like this from time to time!<\/p>\n<p>Actually, much of the hard work has already been done for me &#8211; googling for <code>vmware console mac<\/code> soon turns up <a href=\"http:\/\/the.taoofmac.com\/space\/HOWTO\/Run%20vmware-console%20Remotely%20With%20Apple%20X11\">Rui Carmo&#8217;s article at The Tao of Mac on how to run [the VMware Console] remotely with Apple&#8217;s X11<\/a>; however Rui&#8217;s article was written a while ago now and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2006\/08\/installing-vmware-server-on-fedora.htm\">my VMware Server (v1.0.1-build 29996) installation on Fedora Core 5<\/a> doesn&#8217;t use the command <code>vmware-console<\/code> &#8211; instead I have to use <code>vmware<\/code>.
