7.1

Had to use vmware-installer -I -i vmware-workstation to remove the RC.
Then rm -rf /etc/vmware-installer to make the new one run.
The new release is 261024. Im courius if 3D got working on Linux host at last (it broke for me on 7.1 beta). This VMGL thing might earn a look-at.

Backfire

I set up Openwrt 10 "Backfire" today. I needed iodine, and my old Whiterussian got that crippled. After that I had to put "iptables -A forward -i dns0 -j zone_lan_forward" in /etc/firewall.user so I can use the local end of the tunnel as a gateway, not just lousy socks proxying over ssh (which is on port 443 of course - not working with ISA).
I need these tricks sometime to use Internet (to read documentation :)) from some clients' datacenter rooms, where is no 3G or proxy access.
I managed to get a sneak-peek on the upcoming vSphere releases and View 4.5. Tough NDA-s (I  might get castrated if I gossip), but I must say I like the new Flash based View portal. Some new features in ESX 4.1 too, like working host USB redirection.

VMware Workstation 7.1 RC out

As seen above.
One thing to note: After uninstalling the Beta, some installer database files remain in /etc/vmware*, which makes the new installer think of a false dependency (vmware-player e.x.p. requirement).
These files shall be deleted before a successful RC installation.
This happened to me on linux x64.
