Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS released

I love ubuntu, but I always view an upgrade with extreme trepidation. v14 broke vmware, and it took so long to find a solution, that I removed it, and simply ran ubuntu from within a vm.

I'd love to try it again, I really would, as my host OS. But I just can't bring myself to do it again... yet.

From my experience, vmware is what breaks vmware under linux.

So upgrading your OS breaks your applications? Kind of my point.

Yes, if you application was coded to only work with a specific version of the kernel.

Works fine with 16.04.2 LTS so far though.

What about host shares in the guest OS? That stopped working at 14, and I haven't seen it work since.

Host shares should work, but might not be if you use the open-vm-tools. At least in ubuntu 14 it got broken and while upstream fixed it, Ubuntu did not care to fix it in their repo.
