[Cialug] VMware install on Ubuntu 10.04 issue

[Tim Wilson]

I would recommend using something other than VMWare Server if possible.  I
have it installed on an Ubuntu machine at work, and have had a lot of
problems with it.  The latest problem is in a VM.  I installed Ubuntu 11.10
on a VM (so I could check it out before I installed it).  I'm having
problems with the mouse in the VM.  The mouse is so bad, I have a very
difficult time launching anything.  The problem before this one, when I
upgraded the root OS to the latest Ubuntu LTS, I had to find a patch to get
VMWare to work at all.  And every time there's a kernel update, I have to
re-configure VMWare so it will run.  It has been a bigger pain than I
thought it would be.
