it looks like vmware-view-client has a new version available (version 1.6.0). i went forward with creating these but i haven’t had any time to test a whole lot (i’ve only tested with debian squeeze) so if anyone wants to try them out and report back to me, that would be greatly appreciated. vmware-view-client 1.6.0 - debian squeeze, ubuntu 10.04 and mint 9 i386 | amd64 vmware-view-client 1.6.0 - debian sid, ubuntu 12....
