For those new to VMware it's application that creates a virtual PC inside your existing PC.
Vmware have release vmwareplayer and server FREE!
Both these applications can run virtual appliances these can be anything linux web server, Asterisk VOIP etc.
Without installing and it can be all preconfigured!!!
We can create VMware Appliances (Requires Purchase of Commerical VMware software)
Theres three VMware appliances I'm thinking of
1. Router Appliance (Slackeware with QOS & OSLR)
2. WEB/FTP Appliance (File and Webpages)
3. VPN Server Appliance (For VPN's of course!)
All of these preconfigure make a couple minor changes and your up and runing with in 10mins tops!
What's the catch?
Two catches
1. We need to work as a group of what we would like in these appliances and how they would work.
2. We need to get a BXWIFI standard or white paper on protocals and other standards.
Why use Vmware?
The Player is FREE and if we all use the similar types of router setups we should be able have a more flexible and robust nework with out the additonal expense of buy extra hardware.
