On previous versions of Ubuntu you had to patch the free VMware server to get it to compile (as mentioned in this techrepublic article: How do I… Install VMware Server 1.04 onto an Ubuntu Linux System?

However on Gusty Gibbon amd64, which I’m running on my dell laptop, the vmware-install.pl script ran to completion without any patch!

Gusty is truly an awesome release, and I highly encourage everyone to check it out.

I’ll also be doing a “Virtualization Roundup” at some point, covering major virtualization, and para-virtualization software packages.
