I'd say the only way you will know whether 4.5.2 works for you is to try it out. The vmware image gets downloaded *a lot* (200 times in the first 5 days), and as far as I know there were only two problems reported with it: * unable to access the notebook from the host machine on Windows (this works for me on Mac OS X, and I don't have a Windows machine to test on -- someone suggested a workaround on the list but we haven't heard the original poster confirm that it fixed his problem) * request for having R installed with image support; I will look into this for 4.5.3, but if this is likely to be important to you, you can just install the ubuntu libraries in your copy of the virtual machine So, I'm not saying that the 4.5.2 vmware image is perfect, but I'm not convinced it's any worse than 4.3, and once again, you can find out whether it works for you by trying it out. Try it out on your computer first and see if the cookies issue is fixed, and then see if your system administrator is willing to give it a shot.
