Yeah, one issue: Why isn't vmware-workstation-6.* in the portage tree yet? OK, I'm just kidding (there's testing to be done). Generally it works fine, but right now I can't get vmware's modules to load and work right. Dunno why. Previously the ebuilds worked well. Mind you, there's always Murphy. So add the overlay to your system, and emerge away. If it doesn't work, you'll soon know about it and can revert back alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
