I’ve just started to play about with the new Ubuntu (7.10 - Gutsy), I have to say that I quite like it - I was a big fan of Feisty and all other Ubuntu releases previously, so this is more of the same good stuff.
As I’m working with [VMWare Fusion](http://www.vmware.com/mac), the first thing that needs to be done is install the VMWare Tools. This is quite simply done with the following lines in the terminal once you have started your VM and mounted the tools image (Virtual Machine > Install VMWare Tools in the menu):
1

| sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
cp -a /media/cdrom/VMwareTools* /tmp/
cd /tmp/
tar -vxzf VMwareTools*.gz
cd vmware-tools-distrib/
sudo ./vmware-install.pl |
The just accept all of the defaults for the installation package.
Cheers to [Ubuntu Tutorials](http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/02/how-to-install-vmware-tools-on-ubuntu-guests/) for the info.
I just love articles like this…
>The fastest Windows Vista notebook we’ve tested this year is a Mac. Try that again: The fastest Windows Vista notebook we’ve tested this year - or for that matter, ever - is a Mac. Not a Dell, not a Toshiba, not even an Alienware. The $2419 (plus the price of a copy of Windows Vista, of course) MacBook Pro’s PC WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88 beats Gateway’s E-265M by a single point, but the MacBook’s score is far more impressive simply because Apple couldn’t care less whether you run Windows.

I like the look of the iPhone - I want one even. But it’s hardly the single greatest invention of the year… Thankfully someone out there has put some reasonable thought into this:
>Invention of the year. Take some time and dwell on that statement for a moment. Not invention of the month. Not invention of the week. Not gadget of the year. Invention of the year!
>…
>The iPhone may be “pretty” but it certainly does not reduce pollution, protect people from hurricanes, distributes solar energy, or allow an amputee to have a finger.
>This is not to say the iPhone isn’t amazing but to give it Time Magazine’s Invention of the Year is truly an embarrassment to the magazine.
Definately gadget of the year - but no way invention of the year. There are much more worthy examples in the article, let’s face it, the iPhone won because it’ll sell magazines. I sometimes wonder about the culture of today…
