Re: [PLUG] VMware in Ubuntu repos?


For a minute there I thought you were talking about a KVM switch.  I was thinking "hey, that's not actually virtualization."

Then I looked online and found this: http://news.cnet.com/KVM-steals-virtualization-spotlight/2100-7344_3-6161804.html?hhTest=1

Looks promising.

FWIW, since switching to Hardy, I have also switched to kvm for my

VMware Server used to be in
http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-commercial/main/binary-i386/Packages.
 But there are no "*-commercial" repos since Feisty, and I can't find
it in any repo I've found.

I know how to install it manually, and have done so many times, but it
would sure be nice if it was "officially" in a repo.  Anyone have any
ideas what happened?

BTW, I also see that virtualbox-ose *is* in the repos, and several
people on this list and elsewhere have recommended I check it out, which
I'll get around to.  It seems to have better USB support than VMware
too...  Anyone want to do a demo of it?  And/or a comparison between
VMware Server, Workstation and VB-OSE?

Clues?

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
