Install the TP - did not have to uninstall WS 9.0.2 as the TP installer did that successfully.
Host - Debian Sid
Guest - Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy
The guest kernel is 3.9.0.2 VMware Tools installed successfully and timesync was enable. A new program vmware-tools-upgrade is pretty self-evident. I'll run it when the Saucy kernel is updated..
I'll try sharing the VM and run WSX. Let you guys know.
