Install Open VM Tools on Linux VM

Depending on the distro of Linux, I have tough time to install VM Tools on some of them.  The only other option is to install open vmtools.  

Follow VMware instructions to install the open vmtools.

If GUI is required on the VM and assume it is Debian distro, install open-vm-tools-desktop.  

sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop

Otherwise open-vm-tools will be sufficient.

sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools
