patched vmware server:

Kind of comes up and runs. Can't access the remote console because it
tells me
something about

Cannot connect to host 192.168.0.14: No connection could be made
because the
target machine actively refused it. Even though I can telnet to port
and get a
hello message.

ghod, I hate wasting my time. yet on the other end of the spectrum, I
have a
friend who runs the bleeding edge desktops and does so without any
injury to
herself or others. Go figure.

I've installed vmware-server on Breezy, Edgy, and Feisty (all from
vmware.com) and so far (knock silicon) they've all worked ok...

The way I did it was:
d/l the tarball from vmware, register for the key
d/l the any-any patch

install the s/w...

then add a vm and a guest os...

I don't know what's different about the canonical version or why it
could be causing such heartburn... (or why you wouldn't use the vmware
version)...
