VMware - Ubuntu - Git - Installation experience

I was trying to install Git into a *NIX system to for testing purposes.

Installing "git" into Guest virtual OS Just thought of noting down the issues I faced VMware settings and Network Adapter I have chosen 20GB hard disk space and 1GB memory (RAM) for the virtual machine.  I've disabled Floppy from the hardware list.  Choose "NAT" in Network Adapter and share host's IP address Ubuntu Installation and 3D acceleration Issues After installing Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 (tried all), I found that Ubuntu desktop showed blank with no Icons. The desktop had no visible sidebar nor any menu options. These were enabled and active but corrupted and blacked out.   The fix is to disable "3D graphics" option within VM
