Comment Re:VMware tools included (Score 1) 136

Well, I use VNC or remote desktop for windows guests, running on the guests for those. I find I get a better mouse+cut and paste behavior and decent graphics and I do not have to be logged into the host to access the guests GUI.

I have to admit that I never used sound support and maybe graphic acceleration neither. I develop all day working on guests that I access either with VNC or remote desktop although and it works just fine with no VM tools installed.

I use qemu now but when I used to use VMWare, I never bothered to install VMWare tools on any guests. It seemed much easier and safer to just use my own script that would use ssh with password less key auth to shutdown, reboot or what not guests.

Do you really need VMWare tools?

It's "à la carte" and it has nothing to do with a cart like in "shopping cart" or "golf cart".

"à la carte" comes from french restaurants where you have the "table d'hôte" where you buy a meal where everything is included for a fixed price by opposition with "à la carte" where you pay for every item individually.

In restaurants, "la carte" means a menu of items that you can pick individually.

"Une carte" is also used to name a card in a deck of cards used to play poker. "Une carte routière" is a road map so "carte" may also mean map.

From Paris.

What is that "Senior System Engineer/Architect" thing doing in a slashdot sig?

Furthermore, your sig says: "Notice: If you post anonymously do not expect a reply" and you just replied to an anon!

You seem to have problems following basic algorithms which is questionable for a " Senior System Engineer/Architect".

Take care nevertheless man ;-)
