CentOS - Nov 2014 - open-vm-tools on CentOS 6

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 would use the open-vm-tools from EPEL in EL6 as well.
