just upgraded to 5.5 for linux and it works a treat - ubuntu 5.10 guests no longer suck (actually has ubuntu guest listed now!)

i even tried smp support under centos 4.0 (on my p4 hyperthreading) and it worked fine.

seems they've made the tools more intelligent too - i upgraded the tools on ubuntu510, centos40, rhel4as and win98se all just fine (i always use the tar.gz not the rpm) in fact rhel4as even had modules matching my kernel so no recompile.

also it seems you don't need any-any-update94 to get it to work on a fedora4 host now.
