May I ask a silly question? What is this used for? I've been out of the unix
world for about a decade. I will be looking for work in the next year or so,
so I'm wondering if it is something I should spend some time in investigating.
thanks for your thoughts,
david

Subject: Fw: [VINUX] Vinux Virtual Edition now released!
I am downloading this now. Vinux 3 is amazing! This Edition provides a
preconfigured Virtual Machine with all of the extra features already ready to
go. If virtualization is not for you, try the live CD at vinux.org.uk.

Subject: [VINUX] Vinux Virtual Edition now released!
Vinux 3.0 now released!
Back by popular demand, version 3.0 of the Vinux operating system is here.
i'd recommend that all new users read all the documentation before powering on
their virtual machines, as the documentation has been updated significantly and
a new version of VMware player has been included that has extra features. some
of the changes that have been made in this version are as follows:
* After intensive testing for nearly a month, The vinux virtual edition has
been re-built based on Vinux 3.0 using VMWare player instead of workstation.
* Both a new version and an old version of VMware player have been included
to insure maximum compatibility with both new and older systems.
* The internal virtual hard drive was changed from IDE to SCSI for this
release, this should improve performance but if it does not, it will have to be
back to IDE for the next release. In terms of size, the drive is 40 GB,
adequate for most users.
* VMware shared folders and copy/paste features have been included, as well
as a VMware menu item to access shared folders.
* A "Change Hotkey" file is now available which allows users to change the
default hotkey combination of control alt to control alt shift when releasing
input with a couple of clicks. Its as simple as clicking a batch file and
answering y at the prompt.
* Quick start guides have now been included in both RTF and HTML format.
* A web links folder has now been added to the archive so users can download
jaws scripts, visit the main Vinux homepage, and visit the new Vinux Virtual
Edition website.
* A new Vinux Virtual Edition website has now been launched. This can be
found at vinuxvirtual.org.uk. Although this website is still under
construction, most things are working at the time of release.
* A windows USB based method has also been created so users can place Vinux
on a pen drive and use it on any computer, more information and a quick start
guide can be found on the Vinux Virtual website, this will be announced
separately when the guide is available online.
