Supported in this context mean they will help you if you have problems |

related to your host OS. I've run VMware Workstation from 3.0 to 6.0beta |

on Gentoo. 6.0 is the first version to provide a 64 bit version and runs |

better on my amd64 system than previous versions. |

I've currently switched back to 5.5 because I don't know what the upgrade |

price is and I won't want to be forced into it because I have created too |

many 6.0 VMs: so I converted them back to V5 format and am awaiting an |

announcement of the release and prices. |
