在自己的电脑上安装一两台虚拟机，用于学习跨平台跨系统的技术，还是很方便的。VMware是常用的虚拟机软件之一了。其中，VMware Workstation是收费版本，功能更加强大全面一点；但是自己本地玩的话，用对于非商业用途免费的VMware Player，就已经足够了。VMware Tools是一些增强虚拟机性能的程序，使用VMware Player时，会出现提示更新的情况。
VMware Tools包文件下载好以后，会提示手动更新，可以点击弹框右下角的“ 帮助 ”按钮打开操作帮助文档，

- To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and
- file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
- 1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
- 2. Log out and log back into your desktop session
- 3. Restart your X session.

本来到这里就可以大功告成了。But，桥豆麻袋，安装时第一行打印什么意思“ open-vm-tools packages are available from the OS vendor and VMware recommends
using open-vm-tools packages ”，原来操作系统提供了更屌的以及更被推荐使用的包“ open-vm-tools ”，那当然使用安装推荐的程序了。
