Why is there so much work needed for VMware? VirtualBox's kernel module is already patched for kernel 3.1 in their latest release (4.1.2). All one needs is 'make' and 'sudo make install'.

Hello Your are right - currently it is neither easy or obvious to install VMware Workstation on kernel 3.0. Things change however.... On the other hand, I can think of several (off topic) reasons why I went back to using VMware Workstation - in no particular order: openoffice, java and android. @+ James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
