Comment 13 for bug 188391

Fadyek, I'm glad you got a solution. Your experience brings me to another point: is VMware going to release a proper VMware Tools package for Hardy or not? Debian users at least get the option of using open-vm-tools, which Ubuntu has removed from its package repositories (I am assuming this is in preparation for the official VMware package and not some political/contractual restriction; I would be deeply troubled if the latter was the case). I don't mean to nag, but it's been exactly one month since the original announcement of VMware's intentions to provide official packages (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vmware-server/+bug/188391/comments/6). Any updates on that front? Thanks!
