Hehe... well I've never made any claims to being a high wattage bulb But even now in my dimness, calling them `vmware-worstation tools' in one breath then reversing it in the next with: `Guest-os tools for VMware Workstation' seems almost intended to confuse. The more so since vmware documentation refers to them as `vmware-tools' in many places not `vmware-workstation tools'. Just my 10watts. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
