Convert physical older Linux to virtual Disk

Hello,

   I know there are a bunch of posts on this general topic, but I am confused about something and hope you guys can clarify things for me.  I have a RedHat Linux 9 box that I need to convert to a virtual machine as the first step in a bigger project.  I have the latest converter ( version 5.0.1 build 875114 ).  The converter connects to the source server just fine ( the first step, ConverterPoweredOnMachine.png ), but then it asks me to set the destination server and only lets me choose a VMWare Intrastucture virtual machine ( ConverterDestination.png ).  So if I am only trying to convert one machine, what is the best way to convert it in this case?  Would downloading the trial version of one of the other products be sufficient?  I just need to get it to the point where I can run it in VMPlayer, and possibly upload it to one of the many VMWare based cloud services.

 

Tony
