Vmware player on 10.04

I've seen several people say that they like the vmware player better 
than Virtual Box.  I'd like to try it but have a couple of questions.

I have XP running in vbox but am just about out of virtual disk space. 
Can I setup say a 30 GB vmplayer instance and then import/convert my 15 
GB vbox XP setup to use it?

Is there a good set of guidelines on installing it on 10.04?  I couldn't 
find a PPA and the guides I found a pretty old and I wonder if they are 
still relevant.

Thanks,  Jim
