What are the real practical advantages of running VMWARE Tools on a VM on a ESX system?

I'm asking this question because I saw that TKL 11 has those tools already installed. Our VM doesnt have them (TKL LAMP Ubuntu server 8.04) and we never installed them.

I am running release 2009.10-2 of the redmaine appliance on VmWare ESX, I would like to upgrade to the latest Turnkey 11 release but I'm not certain of the best method.  What is the recomended way to perform the upgrade.  I'm fairly new to these appliances so any advice from the community would be greatly appreciated.

How can I combine the app from the wordpress, vtiger and ORTS iso's  into one appliance?

Hi Everybody,

But i have issue when i give it the following command:

apt-get -y build-dep lsb-base

The error i receive is this:

Hi all

any help pls !

Hello!  I have dug around and not really finding the answers I need...  I have previously been using WAMP and XAMPP and never really had issues with those.  I now have VMware Server running on a Windows 2008 R2 machine.  I have downloaded the TurnKey LAMP Stack appliance and it is up and running and running on my desired IP config.  I can get to the welcome page (3 icons for webmin, phpmyadmin) and all that and getting into the webmin setup, but there's so many options its a little confusing, and externally I get website is unavailable.

Few days ago I downloaded the latest Redmine appliance and I was very happy to see all the improvements over the past version. I immediately started to use it with VMFusion on my Mac (yes, I use a Mac).

I wanted to use Redmine and Mercurial to host my small dev projects and eventually put order in a messy development folder.

When I tried to install a module on the vTiger appliance (a language pack), some errors were generated and the installation didn't work:
