All my efforts to use Wine ran into the sand, but finally I had the sense to try VMware Server on Feisty. And all was wonderful. So I was going through the process of moving, or replacing, all my applications, and was 98% finished, when Gutsy day came along. Obviously, it made sense to upgrade, and set up my new system on the latest base. Disaster! VMware refused to start Windows 2000 - something like "a virtual machine power status problem". Since I couldn't get around this, I tried reinstalling W2K, but it recreated the old system, with the old error. So I decided to reinstall VMware Server. Uninstalled fine, but no way to reinstall. VMware server has disappeared from Add/Remove, and Synaptic. I had a look at the VMware site, and VMware Server is alive and well, so why has Ubuntu dropped it? I'll bet they have a reason. So what do I do? Install it myself from a VMware download? Go back to Feisty? Use a different approach? Advice, please.
