What is the purpose of VMware Tools? Do you need to install VMware Tools when running vmplayer on a Linux system? Why or why not?

What will be an ideal response?


VMware Tools is software that resides on the guest system and improves its
performance, functionality, and administration of a VM.
The Linux open-vm-tools package holds an open-source implementation of
VMware Tools. Because VMware has merged the functionality of VMware
Tools into the kernel and open-vm-tools, you do not need to install VMware
Tools on a Linux system when open-vm-tools is installed.
