Standards are good. I love standards. Europe standardised on Micro USB so iPhone users could charge from many points. Apple’s response was to make us an adaptor, at cost, which is not available outside the EEA. This rather negated its purpose, of course; now you had to remember to bring the

Hi, Your Mac uses netbios to share its folders. This is why it's relatively easier to share your host's file system in a Windows VMware guest machine--netbios is natively a Microsoft way of doing such things. You have two choices for access Mac hosted file systems under Linux virtual machines:
