VMware Server 2.0 For Linux Doesn’t Have a “Send Ctrl-Alt-Del” Button

Forget the license issue they had, someone needs to be killed over this one. You install the product, build a guest os (Server 2008 for me), reboot, and you’re staring at a Login Prompt.
“Hmm, they must have moved the ‘send ctrl-alt-del’ command.”
No, they didn’t move it. They didn’t put it in. It’s in 1.x, but not in 2.x.
Are you serious? Really? No ability to log into the box? Oh, and the keyboard mapping is broken too, so the alternate keys for sending the command don’t work either.
Seriously unbelievable. This isn’t beta software. If you can’t even log in then it’s pre-alpha.
[ So there's a workaround after all: ctrl-alt-print (print screen). Thanks to Roger for the tip. ]
