Ubuntu Server as a Virtual Machine on XP

From a long time I was planning to install a Virtual Server on my Dell Laptop (with XP). It took me a long time to which VM should I load on. Finally, last week I ended up with installing Ubuntu Server 8.0. Sequentillay I;
  • downloaded Vmware Server from http://www.vmware.com/download/server/
  • registered on the same page and obtained a free serial number for the VMware Server.
  • downloaded the Ubuntu Server from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
  • installed the VMware Server.
  • Created a Virtual Machine in VMWare Server.
  • Edited the boot options in the virtual machine to be booted by the iso image rather then the cd.
  • started the virtual machine and everything works as charm.
thanks,
I will post the snapshots of this story very soon. :)
