<h2><a name="intro"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p>VMware lets you run another computer in your computer. There are times when you need to check if something "just works" on a different platform, perhaps so you can hassle your vendor about it :) Other times, you might just want to see how a different distribution fits together. Hopefully this page of VMware images, or "Virtual Appliances" will help.</p>

<h2><a name="compatibility"></a>Compatibility</h2>

<p>These images will work in:</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.vmware.com/products/player/">VMware Player</a> <b>free!</b></li>
<li><a href="http://www.vmware.com/products/server/">VMware Server</a> <b>free!</b></li>
<li><a href="http://www.vmware.com/products/ws/">VMware Workstation 5.5+</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.vmware.com/products/vi/esx/">VMware ESX 3+</a></li>
</ul>

<h2><a name="howtouse"></a>How to use these images</h2>
<ol>
  <li>Get the free <a href="http://www.vmware.com/products/player/">VMware Player</a> (or VMware Server, ESX 3, or VMware Workstation)</li>
  <li>Download the image you want to use (see the list below)</li>
  <li>Unzip it</li>
  <li>Load the image in VMware Player</li>
</ol>

<h2><a name="specs"></a>How these images were created</h2>
<p>The images are straight installs of the distribution. All defaults were chosen (apart from using a 2.6 kernel for Debian), so you'll be using American English with an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Qwerty.svg">American keyboard</a>. No tinkering was done - this means that no security updates have been applied - so be careful! <a href="howto/create-a-vmware-image-using-workstation.html">Full details here.</a><br/>
You can use the images in VMware Player 1.0+, VMware Workstation 5.5+, or VMware ESX 3+/VMware Virtual Infrastructure.</p>

<h2><a name="download"></a>Download the images</h2>

<p><b>The torrent downloads on this site are FAST, probably faster than your net connection. If you want the image quickly, use the torrent.</b></p>

<ol>
 <li><span class="yellowbg">Download <a href="http://www.utorrent.com/download.php">uTorrent</a> (free!)</span></li>
 <li>Click the <a class="lightyellowbg">fast torrent!</a> link below the image you would like</li>
 <li>Your high speed download will begin</li>
</ol>
