How to Install VMware Tools in Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail)

Linux, Video Tutorials
VMware Tools is an optional, free set of drivers and utilities that enhances both the performance of a virtual machine’s guest operating system and interaction between the guest and the host.

SSH Connection: Wait long after entering username – ssh password prompt delay

Linux
When I make ssh connection I get long wait just after entering username. It's most likely that ssh daemon  is set up to do a DNS reverse-lookup on the host that's connecting.
