I installed Ubuntu on VMware Workstation 5 just a few days ago. Works nicely. There's one small problem: when installing the VMware tools in Ubuntu, the install program says it doesn't have any precompiled modules for the running kernel. It's not much of a problem since the installer can compile the modules itself; you just need to install the necessary packages in order for it being able to do so (best install them before running the VMware tools install scripts). The packages you need are: linux-headers-2.6.12-9-386 gcc-3.4 make Then either set the environment variable CC to /usr/bin/gcc-3.4 or wait until the vmware tools installer asks for the location of the compiler and enter /usr/bin/gcc-3.4. For the other questions it asks you can just use the default IIRC. -- If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants. -- Isaac Newton Roel Schroeven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
