VMWare Fusion is a great program but one thing that's always bugged me is that their VMWare Tools for Linux lags behind the major linux distro releases. For example, there no support for Fedora 14, Debian 6, Ubuntu 11.04, etc. I know Ubuntu 11.04 is mostly supported through "Update Additional Drivers" in the Ubuntu Preferences window but shared drives still doesn't work. I've gotten Fedora 14 to work perfectly until a Fedora update killed it...I'm tired of VMWare's lack of updates which makes Fusion useable for Windows or older Linux distros. Has anyone found success with any of the major, current distros? I've tried Ubuntu, Debian, OpenSuse, Mandriva, and a few others I forget but they all require a lot of user intervention during the initial VMWare Tools install then the Shared folders part usually doesn't work (or if it does it won't work after restoring the VM from pause). To summarize...GRRRRR.
I see VirtualBox doesn't support any new/modern Linux but how's Parallels w/ Linux? I'm sure we're on the verge of VMWare Fusion 4 for Lion but this sux.
