Ubuntu 10.04 LTS image with VMware Tools
Ubuntu's Lucid Lynx has the special 3 years lasting long term support for which many users have been waiting. Some people use these LTS versions only. Additionally this will probably be the last Ubuntu distro with the current Gnome user interface (series 2.x) to which people are accustomed.
This appliance has VMware Tools installed out of the box. Here is the one without VMware Tools. There are pros and cons for both. If the tools are already installed, you don't have to do it and assure that they are installed correctly. This image is tested and especially disk shrinking works now. On the other hand, if you plan to update often, it may become necessary to reinstall VMware Tools every time. In that case it may pay off to do without the tools.
