As a newbie to Ubuntu and a user of VMware thought a couple of years, I thought it would be a good idea to have a virtual windows machine on my computer.
That way I can always start up the windows machine if there should be some problems with Ubuntu that I could not handle right away.
I ran into some problem installing Workstation on Ubuntu though. It seems that VMware's VMCI Socket module to compile when installing. I experienced this on bought Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10
if you guys should run into this problem, I wanted to spare you the trouble I went to and give you the patch files I used to make it work:
This patch is for VMware workstation 7.0 and Ubuntu 10.04
