Hey Joe,
Other than it is too bad there is no Debian or Ubuntu based install option, that I find funny as VMWare was doing a Ubuntu free guest so the folks there know something about debian (why no deb)?
Did you test this:
1- Win2000 Pro (workstation) as the Host and VMWare Guests running RH, SuSE, and Ubuntu?
2- Do the Guests (windows or linux) have full USB usage (cameras, drives, external DVD/CD writers, etc), without affecting the host USB ?
3- Also - in the past I know of several folks who when running VMWare guests, well the guests would not keep the correct time? This was not too bad with RH Fedora Guests, but SuSE 9.x plus, and Ubuntu guests lost a whole bunch of time in 1 day... DID VMWARE fix this? They had a web page that talked about it...? here: <a href="http://kb.vmware.com/KanisaPlatform/Publishing/329/1420_f.SAL_Public.html" title="vmware.com">http://kb.vmware.com/KanisaPlatform/Publishing/32<nobr>9<wbr></nobr> /1420_f.SAL_Public.html</a vmware.com> and there are other comments on the web about this... The problem does not happen with Windows Guests, just Linux guests...
Has VMWare fixed this so that it is a global fix for all distros running as VMWare guests (windows or linux host)?

Hey Joe - what about this, did you test this out?
