The procedure of acquiring and installing a specific software package designed to enhance the performance and management of a virtual machine running a particular Linux distribution. This process involves obtaining a suite of utilities and drivers tailored for a VMware virtual environment and configuring them within the guest operating system to optimize interaction with the host system.
Proper execution of this procedure yields several advantages. It facilitates improved graphics performance, enabling smoother display and enhanced support for 3D applications within the virtual machine. Shared folders between the host and guest operating systems become readily accessible, simplifying file transfer and collaboration. Enhanced mouse integration eliminates the need for manual capture and release, providing a more seamless user experience. Further, it often corrects clock synchronization issues between the host and guest environments, ensuring consistent timekeeping.
