Have you tried the web client? Quite a bit improved over the previous version - although the feature set is not complete. I think if they can get a convergence of features between the web client and Windows clients there is no need for other ports.

I too would like to have a VI3 Linux Client.

Just a little more to add to the fire...

Figured ok there is no linux client for VI3. Fine I'll create all my vm's using the windows client and manage them with firefox, but of course the plugin fails to install for firefox.

So, let's move on to idea number 2. Let's just install a windows vm on my linux laptop and mange everything from there. Sounds great. Install the VMWorkstation only when it gets to building the vmmon module for the kernel wouldn't you know it, it fails to install, of course I know I'm using something totally crazy and I couldn't possibly expect it to work. It is only the standard SUSE Enterprise Desktop. I mean gee wiz you'd think that VMWare would be sure that their crap works for the Enterprise products.

I've got two little words for you VMWare "This Sucks!!!". I can't imagine how many customers you are going to lose over this little f*** up.

Thought I'll throw my voice in as well:

VMWare, please create a VirtualCentre Server and Virtual Infrastructure Client for the Linux Operating System.
