Citrix has their online forums which are sometimes useful but I usually find
better solutions in the THIN archives.

.If we can produce a Virtualization list that is anywhere even close to the
great resource the THIN list is, then I would be delighted.

ThinFan's right (good job)
Obviously a lot of VMware users out here. 

BTW, I don't mind the community but anyone on this list find it useful to
have a list like this for VMware? I mean I just like the e-mail use better
than the online forum.

That's correct:

Upgrading from a Tar Archive 

If you are using the downloaded tar archive, note the filename of the
download file and make appropriate substitutions in the file and directory
names shown below.
Note: Using the tar archive, upgrading directly from releases prior to ESX
2.0 is not supported.

Reboot into linux.
/sbin/reboot
Log in as root. 
Make a directory named download (or use another name of your choice.) This
directory must be accessible to the service console on the server you want
to upgrade.
Save the file esx-2.5.0-11343-upgrade.tar.gz to this directory. 
Change to the download directory. 
Extract the contents of the file.
tar zxf esx-2.5.0-11343-upgrade.tar.gz
Change to the directory esx-2.5.0-10771-upgrade.tar. 
Run the upgrade script.
./upgrade.pl
You see various messages about the upgrade process. 
When prompted, reboot the system. When the system reboots, you are finished
upgrading VMware ESX Server.
