[open-vm-tools-discuss] Differences between open-vm-tools and VMWare ESX Tools

[Eric G. <ege...@fe...>]

Hi,

I'm setting up an ESX box and since I'm going to have a number of Debian 
servers on it I'd prefer to use the open-vm-tools to the VMWare ESX 
Tools.  It's just so much easier to upgrade.

However, having not used the open-vm-tools before, I'm interested to 
know what the practical differences are.  Is there any advantage to 
using the ESX version of the tools?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Cheers,
