Has anyone gotten into virtual computing yet?
I'm using VMware's free player to run a couple of virtual machines that I've gotten.
M$ also has a virtual server product that I tried out thats pretty cool to (and free).
goto
vmware.com
and download the player for free
www.vmware.com/products/player/
and then get virtual machines from
www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/
Might I suggest a:
Browser Appliance
revision 1.0.0, December 2005
Download via BitTorrent!
Virtual Appliance
The Browser Appliance allows users to securely browse the Internet using Mozilla Firefox. Run the Browser Appliance with VMware Player to:
* Protect Against Adware and Spyware: Users protect their PCs against adware, spyware and other malware while browsing the Internet with Firefox in a virtual machine. The Browser Appliance leverages virtual machine isolation capabilities to prevent malware downloaded in the browser from propagating to the normal desktop.
* Safeguard Personal Information: The Browser Appliance can be configured to automatically reset itself after each use so personal information is never stored permanently.
Instructions
1.
Download your pre-built Browser Appliance.
Latest released version: 1.0.0
Featuring Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 and 1.5 running on Ubuntu Linux 5.10
258MB zipped; 962MB unzipped
* BitTorrent download: Browser Appliance (.torrent) (instructions)
* HTTP download: Browser Appliance (.zip)
* Getting Started Guide (.pdf)
2.
