Topic: vmware player showcase

[hanscees]

Hi, at
http://www.vmware.com/download/player/
everyone can download a player to use vmware virtual machines.

This means I can make a vmware smer7 system. You can download it and use it and I think also adjust it.

Why don't we distribute on the mirrors also a vmware sme7 for people to play with? I have vmware so I can make a vmware system we can distribute.

I am not sure but I think people can use such a player to roll rpm's and so on. We could distribute a developer vmware-host with all developer-tools installed for instance.

For those that want to test I have made an 380MB sme7beta8 showcase. Let me know.

greetings

Please let me know where i can get this. I would love to give it a spin as i have currently no extra server and i am too cheap to pay for VMWare

I cannot do this at my own adsl line as the line is already saturated.

I have Installed sme7 on a winxp using VMware player.
I'm using it in server only mode.
I created a VMX file using VMX wizard from http://rhysgoodwin.orcon.net.nz/vmxwizard/ & Installed the sme7b8. I dont think we would need a image created from VMware Workstation. I believe we can also install it in gateway & Server mode by just specifying 2 ethernet adapters in the vmxwizard.

Thanks

Just for the record.
This idea has been implemented.
Vmware macines are on the mirrors and thus also here:

Hi,

I just found a way to make your own empty virtual machines for free which will work with the free VM Player. You just install your OS of choice (SME of course!   )

I have 2 Ubuntu installations working this way.

Check out my post here http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=30343.0

All the best,

Anyone notice that VMWare is giving away GSX Server free now?  Sounds pretty good to me.

Hi,

A vmware clientmachine of sme7.0pre3 is being uploaded as we speak.
You can use this vmware host for development or testing for instance
It should end up here and on other mirrors:
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/hanscees/

see also:
http://smeserver.sourceforge.net/sme70/sme70/Manual/DeveloperHowtos?v=1ju

for some howtos on this. This www page is temporary by the way. It will be merged into the developers docu for sme7.
