[plug] Kubuntu Koala

[Richard Meyer]

Thanks Scott,

Will give that a try ...

I did install VMWare a while ago, but it wouldn't work because somehow
the VMWare TCP/IP interfaces couldn't be found ....

Will give it a go now.

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
