F5 Vmware Installation Help

hello all,

 

 

am tryin to install the virtual edition of f5 on my pc

 

my first vmware attempt :-)

 

 

i have vmware installed on my windows7 machine

 

and then i downloaded iso 'BIGIP-10.2.0.1707.0'

 

 

tried loading the iso image to the vmware ,

 

at the second step : it says the operating system could not be identified and i needed to add it manually later

 

i know its Linux , but there are too many options for me to choose , not sure which one to select - help !

 

 

should i be using freebsd ? maybe ?

 

 

any inputs beyond here are much appreciated

 

 

cheers,

 

Roger
