Other than being unfamiliar with Ubuntu and having to learn a new way of doing things...UBUNTU IS AWESOME.I find absolutely no reason to ever have to deal with Microsoft or Apple ever again.

if you register with vmware they will send you keys. as many as you want up to 50.
problem with using the vmware version of ubuntu is you can't use the cool video enhancments from....... crap. can't remember the software right now. but its cool |

Sorry,
Have not been checking this thread in a bit, in my own little world. Took a week off and have been fighting doing things around the house, bus duty and coaching soccer with fishing and have only hit the site occasionally.
If you register with the VMware folks you can get a serial number for their server product, they still apparently are charging for the workstation product. Here is a link to a community forum for VMWare that contains a good link to a PDF that explains the differences between the two products: http://www.vmware.com/community/thre...44404&tstart=0 |

Out of curiosity what's the advantage of running the vmware version of Ubuntu over simply installing it on your hd alongside windows,other than saving disk space?
