Just like to point out that the source to the vmware kernel modules is availble
along with a diff for the X server. Not binary only :).

While I'm mailing the list, Daylight saving's time just came about. Linux
automatically updated the time (or perhaps a daemon I'm unaware of), however
when I rebooted the time went back an hour (e.g. the system clock wasn't
changed). This happened on both of my Linux boxes. When I used date --set to
set the time, the time went back an hour when I rebooted (both boxes). My
question is, is this a date problem, a Linux problem, or a BIOS problem?
