With such an original title I can only add the picture below. The roof is on the house.

We’ve started a home purchasing adventure. As of the date of signing the purchase agreement the house looks like the following pucture. 5 days later the transformation begins to show 🙂
Install VMWare Tools on Ubuntu
After setting up my home lab on VMWare ESXi 5 I went on a quest to figure out how to install VMWare tools on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Came across a real simple 10 step guide that made this task quick and easy.
After logging on to the server, follow the below commands:
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get upgrade
- sudo apt-get install build-essential
- sudo mkdir /media/cdrom
- sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
- cp /media/cdrom/VMware*.tar.gz /tmp
- cd /tmp
- tar xzvf VMware*.gz
- cd vmware-tools-distrib/
- sudo ./vmware-install.pl -d
And you’re all done.
Security / Programming / Everything Else
Setting up a home lab and have to say so far it has been a pain and a blast at the same time. Got a new “used” server and I’ve laid down VMWare ESXi 5.1 on it. Spun up a couple of VMs so far and every step has taught me something I didn’t know before.
