Hello all,
As far as which VMWare tools to use - the ones from VM Ware or the open-vm-tools available through the EPEL - is there any consensus on what is better? I know that for CentOS 7 you are told to use open-vm-tools but what is the situation with CentOS 6?
Thanks.
Boris.

I use this: https://www.vmware.com/support/packages
I would use the open-vm-tools from EPEL in EL6 as well.

Why not?
I already have EPEL on 99% of my systems, don't have to bother with Vmware's repo.
Open-vm-tools is good enough to be included in Base in EL7, it's good enough for me on EL6.

Why? VMWare's rpm repo is well maintained until EL6.

It was brought to my attention that the EPEL package is maintained by Vmware as well, so there you go..
