Err. Maybe not. What's going to happen is that those modules are going

Funny you should mention that. Install Ubuntu 8.04 as a guest in VMware
(I'm using Fusion right now). The new kernels break enough that the VMware
guest kernel modules won't even compile.
Have a look at the 'open-vm-tools' package. It's a GPL version of the
vmware tools. They build with recent kernels, and seem to get updated,
unlike the ones distributed with Fusion.
