New release of VMware Workstation
I see there's a new release of VMware Workstation:
http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/
I'm pretty much using VirtualBox instead of VMware, even though I have a VMware license through my work. Also, some Archers insist that VMware should be installed via the AUR, but I've done it both ways without serious problems.

Re: New release of VMware Workstation
Let's hope that it support kernel 2.6.29. Although Arch haven't release it yet.

Re: New release of VMware Workstation
Hmm... I'll try it out soon. I use VMware because it has better 3D hardware acceleration inside the VM.
@archlinuxsagi: It's in [testing] if you want to run that repo. Here's some info on getting VMware working with 2.6.29, apparently there are some possibly broken hacks is all right now (for 6.5.1, changelog of 6.5.2 says nothing about 2.6.29 kernel):

Re: New release of VMware Workstation
Excellent. Never had a prob with installing VMWare directly. I'll prob take a look at the AUR PKGBUILD files and conjure up something this time around though...
Arch Linux + sway
Debian Testing + GNOME/sway
NetBSD 64-bit + Xfce
