VMware Releases Open VM Tools

September 12th, 2007 Leave a comment Go to comments

Chalk one up for VMWare... One of the (minor) problems with VMWare is that getting VMWare tools installed reliably in a VM can be a bit of a pain.... some *nix distributions just don't play nice.  VMWare has responded to this problem by releasing an open source version of VMWare Tools called Open VM Tools.

Functionality includes:

*  File transfer between a host and guest
* Improved memory management and network performance under virtualization
* General mechanisms and protocols for communication between host and guests and from guest to guest
