+Most recent Linux distributions offer the installation of VMware Tools via their package management systems (under the name *Open VM Tools*). This allows VMware Tools to be maintained in the same way as other components of the VM operating system. If the distribution you are using offers this, you will be able to find the *Open VM Tools* under the package name: *open-vm-tools*.
