Vmware-server for SME Server
Maintainer
Sme Developers
Description
VMware Server installs on any existing server hardware and partitions a physical server into multiple virtual machines by abstracting processor, memory, storage and networking resources, giving you greater hardware utilization and flexibility. Streamline software development and testing and simplify server provisioning as you utilize the ability to "build once, deploy many times."

The requirement for GCC is an optional maybe. Depending on your kernel at the time you may find the the included modules load and run perfectly (it will give you a message to this effect).
Also, be aware that a yum update that includes a new kernel may cause a failure of VMware-server. In this case, you will have to re-run vmware-config.pl and rebuild the modules.
It may be easier to just use vmware player or workstation on your client PC.
