We installed VMware in Vista Ultimate, apparently the reverse of what many do. The trick, if any are going to do the same, is to hit F8 while Vista is booting and choose to disable device driver signing. This will allow VMware server to install in Vista. If you do not do this then it will appear to install and then at the last minute will rollback without explanation. Annoying.
Another weirdness was after rebooting the computer my network setup was disabled. (I have a local lan w/router). We spent a few minutes trying to get VMware working before noticing. After starting the local network VMware was happy to let us logon on to the 'local' host so we could proceed with the kubuntu install.
Thanks again to JosephW for helping me navigate the bumps in a much speedier fashion than I would have alone (we are talking days here) and without loss of hair, which I can ill afford.
Looks like you just finished your first SMP WU (and your first WU of the day). This one by itself has given you what looks like your best day yet.
Congratulations.
Well, three days after the upgrade you have jumped to #10 (at the 3:00 pm Thursday update) of the top FReeper Folders.
You will really enjoy seeing your points climb so fast.
Well it looks like your second SMP WU just came in, and it is worth more than any single week's total previously.
You will soon be flying up the ranks. Maybe I have some competition after all :)
Best of luck,
JosephW
