Install VMWare 7 in Linux

Get the bundle file, VMware-Workstation-7.0.0-203739.i386.bundle

Disable kvm
sudo modprobe -r kvm_intel

Install it
sudo sh VMware-Workstation-7.0.0-203739.i386.bundle

Just a followup - the kvm module will get reloaded after a reboot (which won't break VMware entirely, but will cause it to not be able to use the hardware VM features of the CPU). To get rid of kvm once and for all (type this in a console as root):

apt-get purge kvm

You can reinstall it later if you need it for some other VM environment, with:

apt-get install kvm
