Ok... this nearly seems a flamebait, but it's not:)
I'm using gnome+enlightenment at the moment, but have thought of switching to kde. Which are the reasons you would have to recommend me to change my desktop environment (or not to change it)?
What basically failed were the vmmon and vmnet modules. You can download them here.
But remember not to follow the instructions this time. Ungzip the files, rename them to vmmon.tar and vmnet.tar, copy them to your vmwareinstalldir/lib/modules/source directory, and then do a normal "vmware-install" or "vmware-config".
That confirms what we already knew. Matrox has a kind ok compromise with Linux (not only that tool, just see how compatible they hw is). I hope that makes more people be interested in Linux. And of course, Matrox will sell more cards, which is what they surely want;)
So write it. This 'I think' stuff get none of us anywhere.
Yes, of course, I agree with you. However many people might not feel prepared enough as to write a free unix port of ASP, but as to have an opinion about that. In any case, is the 'online community' planning (or has already planned) something about that?
In any case, the 'essence' of that post was that "port is OK"; IMHO there is no point in trying to avoid it... then you can use it or not.
Btw, I'm sure there would be many people (say, free developers) interested in writing such a port. Other people with more tools and experience may be able to organise it. Or perhaps I'm wrong, and there is no interest in doing it. It would be nice to know.
Even if we like ASP or not, even if we prefer PHP, JSP or ColdFusion, I think the port isn't bad by itself. It is more software for UNIX systems, so that means *NIX operating systems are taken very seriously. Why should we "fight" against this? New software is a way of developing these systems.
However, I think that an ASP port for UNIX should be completelyfree, opensource and so on. As everybody knows, that allows programs to be of high quality and really tested (see this for examples of not-deeply-tested applications).
Furthermore, it is possible that commercial and free versions of a system exist, each one with its own capabilities (for example, mySQL and other SQL based systems).
As a conclusion, I agree on the port, but there should be a free version (and soon if possible:) ).

Oh, please, listen to opensource music:
cat /boot/vmlinuz > /dev/audio

I'm using vmware with 2.4.7 and it works fine.

Sorry, but I get:
ftp: ftp.CLUE.org: Host name lookup failure
Is it normal? I've tried to connect from two different machines...
Thank you.
