Better Integration For Ubuntu under VMWare Fusion

I know that running Ubuntu as a VM under a proprietary OS such as Mac OS 
X seems incongruous with the open source philosophy, but that is the way 
I have been doing it on my Mac for over a year, and I have enjoyed it 
immensely. I have stayed away from Ubuntu for awhile since it hasn't 
really been working so well, but that just changed.

The recent upgrade of VMWare Fusion works superbly with Hardy. Upgrading 
VMWare Tools for Linux went seamlessly--the first time since I first 
started using Feisty. What is really cool is that the Unity mode now 
works for Ubuntu too! It all seems to run faster too.

If anyone wants to share their experiences with this particular 
implementation I would love to hear about it.
