This is in no way an official list - it only means that I was able to install them.

If an OS is listed but has white spaces for a specific VMwareversion this can be translated as 'I don't know'

Please report errors to http://vmware.itst.org/viewtopic.php?p=7980#7980 or leave a note here.
Please report any missing OS to the same link.

I hope to add some configuration-Files and a Gallery soon.
