How To Set Up VMware Tools On Various Linux Distributions
Courtesy: Henry  
This article explains how to set up the VMware Tools in the following guest operating systems: Ubuntu 7.04, Fedora 7, PCLinuxOS 2007 and Debian Etch. Installing VMware Tools in your guest operating systems will help maximize performance, provide mouse synchronization and copy & paste functionality. This article also shows a way of making VMware Tools start automatically when you start a guest operating system.

I used the VMware Tools v1.0.3-44356 provided by VMware Server v1.03.

This howto is meant as a practical guide; it does not cover the theoretical backgrounds. They are treated in a lot of other documents in the web.

This document comes without warranty of any kind! I want to say that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

Special Note

Linux Preloaded on Dell: At this point however, there are no specifics on the Linux preload, other than it will be available on laptop and desktop systems. From David Lord, a spokesman for Dell.

Rejoice penguins, Linux will be an option on future Dell desktop and mobile computers.

After several weeks of soliciting feedback from customers through its IdeaStorm Web site, pre-loading Linux became the first customer-requested option adopted by the company.
