Dev Box based on Linux using free VMPlayer

[Dwarfer]

Hi Guys,

 

I am wondering if people would find it useful if I created a virtual appliance that would/could run on VMWare Player (free http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMware_Player)on your desktops PC's that could be used for development local testing ?.  You can then just use windows shares to edit/upload files to it so no major Linux knowledge would be necessary

 

I already do this myself however I have an ESX server hosted in my house for local DEV ;-).

 

Let me know what you guys think if its something that would be useful.

 

Thanks

Go for it dude.. Centos all the way!

I take it the VM would load in VSphere fine too?

Yeah will work on almost any versions of VM
