That's good to hear. If you are going to install vCenter below is the link to the vCenter CIP (browser plugin). IIRC Google Chrome seems the only supported Linux x86_64 browser. The plugin requires flash 11.5 which rules out Firefox because there is only flash 11.2 for Linux from Adobe. $ wget -v http://vsphereclient.vmware.com/vsphereclient/1/8/8/7/2/7/0/VMware-ClientIntegrationPlugin-6.0.0.x86_64.bundle $ chmod +x VMware-ClientIntegrationPlugin-6.0.0.x86_64.bundle $ ./VMware-ClientIntegrationPlugin-6.0.0.x86_64.bundle Version 5.5.0 of the plugin seems no longer available from the vmware site but is available here: https://download.iseage.org/vmware-plugin/ HTH, Patrick
