Re: [PLUG] Free virtualization resources


As with everything in life, there are levels of trust. I've pulled down and reviewed several of the distros I'm most familiar with, and I've seen no signs of tampering, but it's pretty much impossible to verify further than that. I summarized my level of trust last night with "I wouldn't push these to production, but I'd run them myself and I'd do a product demo on them." I didn't see the ads because of my philosophies WRT internet funding and advertising, but that doesn't change my opinion.

I keep forgetting to post this to the list, if anyone is interested in trying out some new distributions via virtualization, check out http://www.osboxes.org/ - Prebuilt and regularly updated VM images for lots of distros, Android-x86, RemixOS, BSDs, you name it, and they are generally available in Virtualbox and VMware formats.

Hope it's helpful,
