From the vmware website:
VMware Tools for Linux Guests
1. Power on the virtual machine.
2. After the guest operating system has started, prepare your virtual machine to install VMware Tools.
Choose File > Install VMware Tools.
The remaining steps take place inside the virtual machine.
3. Be sure the guest operating system is running in text mode. You cannot install VMware Tools while X is running.
4. As root (su -), mount the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image, change to a working directory (for example, /tmp), uncompress the installer, then unmount the CD-ROM image.
Note: You do not use an actual CD-ROM to install VMware Tools, nor do you need to download
the CD-ROM image or burn a physical CD-ROM of this image file. The VMware Workstation software contains an ISO image that looks like a CD-ROM to your guest operating system. This image contains all the files needed to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system.
Note: Some Linux distributions use different device names or organize the /dev directory differently. If your CD-ROM drive is not /dev/cdrom, modify the following commands to reflect the conventions used by your distribution.
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
cd /tmp
tar zxf /mnt/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
umount /mnt
5. Run the VMware Tools installer.
cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl
6. Log out of the root account.
exit
7. Start X and your graphical environment.
8. In an X terminal, launch the VMware Tools background application.
vmware-toolbox &
Note: You may run VMware Tools as root or as a normal user. To shrink virtual disks, you must run VMware Tools as root (su -).
Starting VMware Tools Automatically
You may find it helpful to configure your guest operating system so VMware Tools starts when you start your X server. The steps for doing so vary depending on your Linux distribution and your desktop environment. Check your operating system documentation for the appropriate steps to take.
For example, in a Red Hat Linux 7.1 guest using GNOME, follow these steps.
1. Open the Startup Programs panel in the GNOME Control Center.
Main Menu (click the foot icon in the lower left corner of the screen) > Programs > Settings > Session > Startup Programs
2. Click Add.
3. In the Startup Command field, enter vmware-toolbox.
4. Click OK, click OK again, then close the GNOME Control Center.
The next time you start X, VMware Tools starts automatically.
Uninstalling VMware Tools
If you need to remove VMware Tools from your Linux guest operating system, log on as root (su -) and run the following command:
vmware-uninstall-tools.pl
connect.c is the simple relaying command to make network connection via SOCKS and https proxy. It is mainly intended to be used as proxy command of OpenSSH. You can make SSH session beyond the firewall with this command,
Features of connect.c are:
- Supports SOCKS (version 4/4a/5) and https CONNECT method.
- Supports NO-AUTH and USERPASS authentication of SOCKS
- You can input password from tty, ssh-askpass or environment variable.
- Run on UNIX or Windows platform.
- You can compile with various C compiler (cc, gcc, Visual C, Borland C. etc.)
- Simple and general program independent from OpenSSH.
- You can also relay local socket stream instead of standard I/O.

I recently had the pleasure of talking with 17 bright, enthusiastic professionals who are on the rise in their respective careers about some of the things they have learned and are continuing to learn along the way about using social media in their daily work, and where they see things heading.
These people were recommended to me by some of the most well-known players in social media today, and after comparing notes on the conversations I had, I concluded that there are four main areas that these 17 people have in common: they all know how to and appreciate the value in building authentic relationships, they are all digital trendsetters within their communities, they are all risk-takers, and they all know the extreme importance of giving back. These four items, I believe, have significantly contributed to their rising popularity as well as the increase in respect that they receive from their managers, peers, and colleagues.
A Few Things That Don’t Matter
In addition to identifying key traits among these successful social media stars, I also discovered a handful of things that are not indicative being successful with social media.
- There is no specific age or generation bias. The people I spoke to range in age from mid-20s to mid-40s; years of experience range from a few years to a couple decades.
- Education doesn’t matter. Some have post-graduate degrees, some have Bachelors degrees, and some were educated through the school of life.
- Type of employment situation doesn’t matter. Some are self-employed, some work for small companies, and some work for large international corporations.
In other words, traditional traits of success don’t necessarily apply to those working in social media, who instead tend to create opportunities for success through their actions.
1. Develop Authentic Relationships
Developing authentic relationships with or as a mentor is a great starting point for kicking your career into high gear. For example, when the three women behind MamaLaw.com reached out to Elisa Camahort of BlogHer asking for assistance in organizing a first-of-its kind event called Blogalicious (created “to ignite a sense of unity within our community [women of color] as well as to educate marketers on the importance of our demographic in today’s marketplace”), they established an authentic relationship with Elisa because she saw her own desires reflected in what they were looking to accomplish.
As well, Keith Burtis, who was recommended to me by Chris Brogan, believes he was recommended as a result of years of developing a professional friendship and partnership with Chris in several business endeavors.
Initiating the outreach for these relationships was also a common occurrence amongst those with whom I spoke. When Amanda Mooney, now a Sr. Social Media Strategist with Edelman, attended a presentation by Richard Edelman at a PRSSA conference, she decided to contact him via email beforehand. He responded and remained in contact throughout her time in college, and has continued to be supportive as her career progresses.
Continued learning is also a great way to nurture relationships with your colleagues. Those I spoke to all cited a strong desire to learn from their peers. Dan Honigman, Digital Supervisor with Weber Shandwick, took a special interest in learning from the corporate culture created at Zappos as well as how they keep customers coming back again and again. Jennifer Leggio, Director of Strategic Communications with Fortinet, invited every security person she met at the FIRST Conference to join Twitter, and then created a categorized list on her blog so that they could all learn from each other. Kaitlyn Wilkins, VP of Digital Strategy with Ogilvy’s 360 Digital Influence Group, has sat at the feet of Managing Director John Bell to learn and grow, citing that he has been an incredible mentor for her during her time there.
The bottom line is that creating authentic relationships with peers is smart networking, and that works in the world of social media just as it does in the offline world.
2. Be a Digital Trendsetter
Being up-to-date with, and oftentimes ahead of, digital trends is also an important trait to possess in order to be successful in the social media world. For example, Dave Knox, Brand Manager, Digital Innovation with Procter & Gamble, was an integral part of P&G’s Hack Night, a gathering of some of the brightest minds in the digital space in early 2009 in an effort to educate the P&G senior marketers. Placing himself ahead of the curve positioned Knox for success in helping to lead P&G’s social media efforts.
Kipp Bodnar, Social Media Marketing Manager at Howard, Merrell & Partners, indicated that he believes there is tremendous opportunity for location-based social media applications in the near future. That’s why he is working with one of his B2B clients on a mobile campaign to raise consumer crossover awareness. So does Venessa Miemis: she hinted that we should be watching companies that enhance the mobile experience, citing products such as Layar, an augmented reality browser, as an example. Being ahead of the adoption curve will allow those people to position themselves as thought-leaders once the next wave of popular social media applications reach a mainstream audience.
And Jessica Randazza, a Senior Associate with Digitas, realizes that as brands become more entrenched in social media, there will be a need to silo things out and focus on creating more genuine content as consumers become more savvy, and jaded, to marketing outreach via social media. In her words, “Less brands, more brand ambassadors.”
3. Take Risks
Speaking of Jessica, she just recently moved across the country, relocating from Seattle to New York City for her new position at Digitas. This brings up trait number three which is being willing to take risks.
With no risk, there is no reward. Just ask Laura Roeder, Principal of Roeder Studios, who set out on her own a few years ago in an effort to move beyond the echo chamber of social media professionals preaching just to each other. She says, “We need to be brave, get out of our comfort zones, and go to places where people may be skeptical of social media, and of us. We need to evangelize.”
Kneale Mann, also self-employed, says that he “sees opportunities” so he can “seize opportunities.” (He admitted that this was cheesy, but it’s true!) Kneale came from a more traditional media background – radio/TV/print – and took a risk that has turned out to be quite fruitful when he crossed over and found new avenues and channels to pursue through social media.
4. Give Back
Finally, it is key to remember where you’ve come from and to constantly give back – or in some cases, to pay it forward. Ernst & Young’s Director of Social Media, Ken Burbary, specifically used the phrase “pay it forward” when he talked about how he communicates with and promotes other data and analytics social media professionals. He says this was one of the things that has helped him to catch the attention of his peers.
Len Kendall, Digital Account Supervisor with GolinHarris, along with his colleague Dan Honigman, started the3six5 Project in which they will put up a blog post by a different author every day of 2010. The idea was born out of the concept of lifestreaming and the goal is to introduce and give a voice to lots of different people, from many different places, using social media.
Another example comes from Sarah Evans, President at Sevans Strategy, whose business is almost entirely built around working with non-profits and ‘social good’ companies. She shared a story about the Crisis Overnight campaign she helped to run which raised $160,000 via social media channels to help a local community crisis center keep its doors open.
Conclusion
Are these the only traits that must be possessed in order to rise up in the social media world? Absolutely not – but the fact that almost every one of the 17 people with whom I spoke shared each of these four things in common speaks loudly to their importance.
Learn from those who are on the fast-track to success in their careers and you’ll find your own success in your social media career: develop genuine relationships with your peers and mentors, be ahead of the digital curve in your business, don’t be averse to taking some risks in your career, and always be willing to pay it forward and help those coming on behind you.
