Discuss this Xubuntu VM, Get Help, and Share Ideas on the Discussion Forums.

Hey there, while working on the next release of PBA, I took a break and did something else. I just released a new version of the Xubuntu Dapper Drake VM. Packages are updated, the kernel has been updated to the latest 686 kernel (previously it was a 386 kernel), VMware tools are updated, and the size has been slightly reduced. I may create an Edgy Eft 6.10 version at some point if I sense that people would be interested in it.

Here's all the relevant details and a torrent link for download.

Description:
Xubuntu is a complete GNU/Linux based system with an Ubuntu base. It's lighter, and more efficient than Ubuntu with GNOME or KDE, since it uses the Xfce Desktop environment, which makes it ideal for old or low-end machines, as well as thin-client networks.

I don't plan on releasing any Virtual PC Appliances anytime soon, but for what it's worth, this caught my eye. Microsoft has apparently released a Virtual PC Appliance that includes a pre-activated Windows XP SP2, IE6 and the IE7 Readiness Toolkit. Microsoft is advertising this as a way to run IE6 and IE7 on the same machine simultaneously. The part that's surprising is that they are distributing a free trial copy of Windows XP with the machine. The Windows XP installation will expire in April 2007.
