Gutsy Gibbon is Out

Gutsy Gibbon the Latest Version 7.10 is out. Some of the features I liked about it was default Compiz Fusion, Deskbar Applet, Tracker Search Tool, default ntfs read/write support. It removes most of the barriers faced by newbies. Well I could say that the latest version is surely better than my expectations. Hope it keeps improving.

Uninstalling problem with Vmware

Vmware is good software to use though it has some limitations mainly as it not an OSS. Secondly there is this uninstallation problem, say you did not install properly or you wish to uninstall it. Here uninstalling vmware compared to other software on Ubuntu is pain especially if you dont know the specific procedure.I wanted to reinstall vmware, that's when i came across this problem. I had given up the hope, when i read on forums that others too have faced this problems. The usual method of uninstalling any software is $ sudo apt-get remove [package-name] For uninstalling vmware-server the following steps need to be followed $ sudo rm -r /etc/vmware $ sudo apt-get remove --purge vmware-server This should solve the problem usually, if it doesn't then you need to specify your problem on one of the forums.
