Thanks for the reply Plamen. So i gave 4.0.1 a try but it gave a method error, i'm assuming this means that its probably incomparable with the 5.5 vcenter server. Also it does not support creating a vmdk on a local disk. After various errors I was finally able to get the converter standalone to work from windows with linux being the target. I'm still want to get a true standalone solution to work on linux and found the following link http://www.petri.co.il/physical-to-virtual-conversion-of-linux-servers-with-vmware-converter-bootcd.htm . But its from 2006 and I cant find anything that bootable. I'm going to continue to look.
