Can you choose 64bits machines in general? Since you need VT-x for this, also look here: http://superuser.com/questions/156859/vmware-this-host-doesnt-support-vt-can-not-play-64bit-vm-due-to-lack-of-vt-fl – h0ch5tr4355 Nov 10 '15 at 08:41

For your intended use, Kali Linux is practically Debian. Select Debian from the submenu. – Deltik Nov 10 '15 at 08:54

Kali Linux is based on Debian Wheezy, which is Debian 7. – Deltik Nov 10 '15 at 10:36

You're welcome, @Beginner. You can accept my answer if it was what you were looking for. As a side note, I suggest that you edit your question to ask a question because as it currently stands, it is unclear what you were asking. – Deltik Nov 10 '15 at 11:01

Based on what you wrote in your comment, you wanted to know what operating system to tell VMware Workstation to consider Kali Linux 2.0.
Since Kali Linux is based on Debian Wheezy (Debian 7), you should tell VMware Workstation that you are installing Debian 7.
