With some tweaking I have gotten Hardy to work better than Gutsy ever
did. It boots faster and the scroll ball function, which I could never
fix in Gutsy but had in Feisty, is back.
Installing VMware Tools and getting the mouse to work needs some
finessing. Check out

I barely used Gutsy on my iMac because of the slow boot-up and the mouse
issue.
Hope someone benefits from this, though I know that using a proprietary
OS as my main one is anathema in the open source world ;)
