Can I run dist-upgrade for linux-headers and images in ubuntu after installing vmware-tools? I ask this because i think vmware-tools also install something like a header and image which could be overridden if i upgrade my linux-headers. Thanks in advanced!!!

I don't use vmware tools, but assume after a dist upgrade you will need the latest vmware offerings, because the headers do change. These days, vmware seems to be keeping up with the changes better, fewer third party patches needed, just get the latest vmware downloads.
