Paul

This document explains how to set up the VMware Tools in the following guest operating systems: Ubuntu 7.04, Fedora 7, PCLinuxOS 2007 and Debian Etch. Installing VMware Tools in your guest operating systems will help maximize performance, provide mouse synchronization and copy & paste functionality. This article also shows a way of making VMware Tools start automatically when you start a guest operating system.

I used the VMware Tools v1.0.3-44356 provided by VMware Server v1.03.

A very good article and I might have to try it out on my Vista OS, to see how fast of an improvement it does on the LINUX side of it.

Demonoid is BACK!

Downtime

We received a letter from a lawyer represeting the CRIA, they were threatening with legal action and we need to start blocking Canadian traffic because of this.

Thanks for your understanding, and sorry for any inconvenience.

Well, the CRIA was involved. You can now go to demonoid.com without a problem. Go check it out.

Microsoft’s “Falcon” Xbox 360 Is Here. Kind of.

Paul

If you’re like us, you’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Microsoft’s “Falcon” Xbox 360s, well, now they’re here. Apparently. The guys over at the Xbox official forums have noticed that the Halo edition 360s may just be the Falcons we’ve all dreamed about. The Falcon Xbox 360, by the way, has a 65nm CPU and is supposed to run cooler and, ideally, not die after three days, which is a nice change. The posters in the forums have torn theirs apart to show you what the innards of a Falcon may look like. Hit the link below to check out the pics. [Xbox Forums]

Nice I think I’ll get that instead of the an old XBOX 360 at least it would be a better speed!!
