See 

	http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/misc/vmware-player

so 'as a binary' was a confusing way of saying that on Ubuntu, 

	$ sudo apt-get installl vmware-player

is all you need to the player.  After that, simply slurp in the Quantian iso
and set up the short quantian.vms file, and you're off to the races.
