Atul Kumar has provided very clear procedures how to download and install VMware 2.0 and Oracle Enterprise Linux for Oracle database in http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2009/01/26/download-install-vmware-20-and-oracle-enterprise-linux-for-oracle-database/.
This article is served as an supplement to Atul Kumar's procedure.
1.Download and Unzip Oracle Enterprise Linux 5
Click http://koncordpartners.blogspot.com/2009/07/download-oracle-enterprise-linux.html to learn more about this. Please download Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 instead of JeSO. Please do only unzip and do NOT extract files out from ISO files. The VMware will read ISO files directly.
2.Download and Install VMware Server on Windows Machine
Click http://koncordpartners.blogspot.com/2009/07/installation-of-vmwares-vmware-server.html to learn more about this.
3.Configure Linux Machine on VMware Server
First, create a local folder/driver to store VM related files. This can be a folder in your C:\ Driver. In Atul Kumar's example, it is E:\ Driver. Then, copy your unzipped Linux files into this folder. The Linux files should be in iso format. Now, you can start Atul Kumar's procedure No.3.
After click “Use an ISO Image”, please point to the first ISO disc file, such as “Enterprise-R5-U3-Sever-i386-disc1.iso”.
4.Install Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 on VMware Server 2.0
Atul Kumar's procedure No.4 indeed is another article: http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2009/01/28/install-oracle-enterprise-linux-52-on-vmware-server-20/.
In VMware, click your VM in Inventory at left hand side, you will see Console appears on the middle pane. Click it, if you have not install Console, install it now.
After finish install iso disc 1, you will be prompted to change CDROM: Please insert Enterprise Linux disc 2 to continue. You need to:
a) Press Ctrl Alt. This enable you switch from Linux to Windows. Ctrl G will enable you switch from Windows to Linus.
b) Move mouse to the top of Linux installation window, click Devices.
c) You need to first disconnect the previous disc you have done, by click Disconnect...(the name of your previous Linux disc), next to CD/DVD Drive 1.
d) A pop-up window will ask you to confirm this action. Click Yes.
e) Move mouse to the top of Linux installation window, click Devices.
f) Click CD/DVD Drive 1.
g) Click Connect to Disk Image File (iso).
h) Find “Enterprise-R5-U3-Sever-i386-disc2.iso”.
Do the same for rest discs.
5.Install 10g Database or Oracle Apps 11i/R12 on Oracle Enterprise Linux
Sure, it is not limited to 10g Database or Oracle Apps 11i/R12 only.

Installation of VMware's VMware Server
First, what is it? VMware Server is a software enable you to create a multiple virtual machines within your existing operating system. It is not a virtual machine itself.
VMware Server is a Virtual Private Server (Server Virtualization). A VPS, also referred to as Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS), is a method of partitioning a physical server computer into multiple servers such that each has the appearance and capabilities of running on its own dedicated machine. Each virtual server can run its own full-fledged operating system, and each server can be independently rebooted. The physical server boots normally. It then runs a program that boots each virtual server within a virtualization environment. The virtual servers have no direct access to hardware and are usually booted from a disk image. A disk image is a single file or storage device containing the complete contents and structure representing a data storage medium or device, such as a hard drive, CD, or DVD. Some disk imaging utilities omit unused file space from source media, or compress the disk they represent to reduce storage requirements, though these are typically referred to as archive files, as they are not literally disk images. The most common format of disk image is ISO.
Install and run VMware Server as an application on top of a host Windows or Linux operating system. A thin virtualization layer partitions the physical server so you can run multiple virtual machines simultaneously on a single server. Computing resources of the physical server are treated as a uniform pool of resources that can be allocated to virtual machines in a controlled manner.
VMware Server isolates each virtual machine from its host and other virtual machines, leaving it unaffected if another virtual machine crashes. Your data does not leak across virtual machines and your applications can only communicate over configured network connections. VMware Server encapsulates a virtual machine environment as a set of files, which are easy to back-up, move and copy.
According to Vmware, VMware Server is typically used in the following scenarios:
■Assessing virtualization for the 1st time
■Evaluating software using virtual machines
■Test and development of software and IT environments
Following matrix can help to determine if VMware Server is suitable:

https://www.vmware.com/freedownload/login.php?product=server20 is the site for download. A free registration is needed. Go to your email account to activiate before download. In “Binaries”, select the option in according with the current operating system. During installation process, you may also prompt to enter serial number, which can be find in the same email.
A icon of VMware Server Home Page will be created. However, when click this icon, someone might be found https://[localhost, usually it is your computer name; no square brackets]:8333/ui/# could not be acceessed. In this case, you would need to try again and set allow intranet.
Some may find following message:
There is a problem with this website's security certificate.
The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.
Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.
We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website.
- Click here to close this webpage.
- Continue to this website (not recommended).
- More information.
Please click “Continue to this website (not recommended).”
Then, when you try to access VMware Server, you may get an error message saying "Access Denied" or ask you to enter the Login Name and Password in a pop-up window of VMware Infrastructure Web Access. Please use your Window's Login Name and Password. Remember, you must have Administrator previlege in your PC.
By now, you should have no problem to download, install and login the VMware Server.

Download Oracle VM Template
Oracle VM and VMware are same things, because they all provide a virtual machine. And no, they are different. Oracle VM is based on the open-source Xen hypervisor technology, supports both Windows and Linux guests and includes an integrated Web browser based management console. Oracle VM features fully tested and certified Oracle Applications stack in an enterprise virtualization environment. However, that's not to say Oracle products won't run on the other virtualization servers. If the purpose to install the VM is not only for Oracle products, one should consider VMware or VirtualBox.
When go to http://edelivery.oracle.com/EPD/GetUserInfo/get_form?caller=LinuxWelcome, there are two options to chose, Oracle VM and Oracle VM Templates. The difference between them is the Oracle VM Templates are “fully configured software stack by offering pre-installed and pre-configured software images. Use of Oracle VM Templates eliminates the installation and configuration costs, and reduces the ongoing maintenance costs helping organizations achieve faster time to market and lower cost of operations. Oracle VM Templates of many key Oracle products are available for download, including Oracle Database, Enterprise Linux, Fusion Middleware, and many more.” At least these are Oracle’s objectives, if one knows how to download and how to install. One must remember Oracle VM Template could not work standalone. It must work with the Oracle VM Maanger.
Following options might be most selected:
- Oracle VM Templates for Oracle Database Media Pack for x86 (32 bit) 2.2.0.0.0 B51904-02
- Oracle VM Templates for Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 Media Pack for x86 (32 bit) 2.2.0.0.0 B52024-03
There are a few abbreviations worthwhile to know:
HVM – stands for Hardware Virtual Machine, and is usually used in reference to AMD’s and Intel’s Virtualization technology included in their new processors (Intel VT and AMD Pacifica).
PV – stands for paravirtualization, a virtualization technique that presents a software interface to virtual machines that is similar but not identical to that of the underlying hardware.
