None that I know of...

Just get VMWare as is, then download your preferred flavor of linux... Install as you would any other OS on VMWare...

Setting up a virtual machine is more-or less click and play nowadays.

Just download the Ubuntu ISO or any Linux installer ISO then just boot up the VM pointing at the ISO (via the VM's CD/DVD drive options) and if you use a Live CD/DVD installer for the Linux OS of your choice you don't even have to install it just use it in the Trial mode.

 

Really can't get much easier.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.
