I have been running Fedora 21 on an extra laptop as a way to learn about Linux. I have done a reasonable amount of research and have not been able to get VMWare player running on it. Are any of you running VMWare Player on a Linux host? If so, would you mind sharing your experiences?
 
Why not just use VirtualBox?

What are you trying to achieve?
 
He might want a GUI. Yes, I know there are GUIs for kvm, but not as plug&play as vmware workstation or vbox...
 
I have VMWare player and KVM running side by side on a Fedora 21 host. If you're trying to run Player 7, IIRC that requires a 64-bit host with hardware virtualization now. My notes indicate I just needed to install the development-tools package group and the kernel-devel package to get the Player installer working.
 
You need to install some pre-reqs

yum groupinstall "Development tools"
yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel
