If it is your case look for b57udiag and instructions on how to disable ASF and IPMI. Some network cards, specially on HP servers, have a feature that strips VLAN tags from incoming packets.

I'd like to also add, that on some debian installs, it might not find GCC as you might not have it installed. Just in case, just quickly install it first with apt-get. Great article.

In all honesty if I would have just put up a gallery on my website I would have been disappointed. With flickr people are viewing my photos who might not otherwise. What I like best about flickr is groups. I can submit photo to specific groups if I want to get more hits and feedback. Plus there are several wordpress plugins out there that you can embed into your blog, which I LOVE! I did check out your .mac gallery yesterday at work. Nice layout but one thing I didn't like was I couldn't comment on photos. So many smart ass comments I had and nowhere to send them too. :-\ When I decided to turn TMG into a blog a few months ago I went back and forth as to whether I should do a gallery at my website or just subscribe to flickr.

Hope you've figured out the joys of templates. I always reccomend bringing in a consultant to assist with a new VMware implementation. While the set-up and install is relatively straightforward, there is just so much to it. And you are right, there are some very basic items that aren't as clearly documented as they should be.
