The "developer VMWare" image means you would be developing in Haiku, and this may give you too many irritations to your development process. Compiling in Linux is currently several orders faster than compiling in Haiku and this means you have shorter compile-test cycles. Booting Haiku inside VMWare is reasonably fast. How to setup a Linux (Ubuntu) build environment is described here: <http://www.haiku-os.org/documents/dev/building_haiku_on_ubuntu_linux_step_by_step> Best regards, -Stephan
