    your credentials to the server. This is not he case wih a cert auth,

    More precisely said: your private key is never sent to the server. That's why it is called "private".

    Because even when using a client cert to auth, your credentials are indeed sent to the server. Otherwise, how could the server auth you?

    I guess his point was that you usually need a passphrase to make a private key usable. Unless the private key is not password protected. At the end of the day, private key + password protected key is most often recommended.

    Those "pre-approved offer" are just a marketing scheme. They don't do any credit checks before sending them out.

    Well, I use VNC or remote desktop for windows guests, running on the guests for those. I find I get a better mouse+cut and paste behavior and decent graphics and I do not have to be logged into the host to access the guests GUI.

    I have to admit that I never used sound support and maybe graphic acceleration neither. I develop all day working on guests that I access either with VNC or remote desktop although and it works just fine with no VM tools installed.

    I use qemu now but when I used to use VMWare, I never bothered to install VMWare tools on any guests. It seemed much easier and safer to just use my own script that would use ssh with password less key auth to shutdown, reboot or what not guests.

    It's "à la carte" and it has nothing to do with a cart like in "shopping cart" or "golf cart".

    "à la carte" comes from french restaurants where you have the "table d'hôte" where you buy a meal where everything is included for a fixed price by opposition with "à la carte" where you pay for every item individually.

    In restaurants, "la carte" means a menu of items that you can pick individually.

    "Une carte" is also used to name a card in a deck of cards used to play poker. "Une carte routière" is a road map so "carte" may also mean map.
