My employer is a VMware partner and I've been a long-time VMware fan; I have ESXi on a white-box server at home, and run Workstation on my work laptop. Since upgrading/installing Ubuntu 10.10, I've been dragging my feet about getting Workstation installed again, but this morning I fired it up and like always I had to hunt-down a patch to get the modules to build. *sigh*
Fortunately, some kind soul has made a lovely patch available and has further made it very easy to install! W00t! I love the Open Source community.
So, my VMware Workstation is back up and rocking. Hooray!
