[UFO Chicago] VMWare Tools (for Greg)

[Brian Sobolak]

Since this came up at last night's meeting:  how do I get the VMWare Tools
package.  While looking for something else, I found this:

Note: VMware Player is meant to play pre-built virtual machines. The
person who creates the pre-built virtual machine includes VMware Tools if
it is needed. If you want to add VMware Tools to a virtual machine, then
you should use a VMware product like Workstation or VMware Server, which
allows you to alter virtual machines.

VMWare Server is free (beer).

HTH,
