vmware appliance with debian - Licencing
Hello, I just took 30 minutes to install koha2.2.8 (non-Zebra) onto a Debian Sarge VM-Ware Image. I am guessing there is something in the licensing that says this image is or is not re-distributable. It could be useful for many people to start Koha running with a clean install using a VMWARE image. Since vmware.com allows free (not open) use of vmplayer, this could be a way to distribute koha. Has anyone done this yet, and if not, can I put this out there? We exist now, (a new line for sincerely) Darrell Ulm _______________________________________ | D. R.

As far as I know, vmware images are fully distributable. I have seen many pre-rolled linux distributions available for download to use with the free vm-ware player, as the fre vm-ware player is incapable of creating images. For that, one needs the commercial version of vmware. Google 'debian vmware images' and you'll find tons of links. Kyle On 3/22/07, Darrell Ulm <drdrulm@yahoo.com> wrote:

Actually, VMWare Server is a free product that is fully capable of creating images. It has been available for over a year now: http://www.vmware.com/products/server/ Dan On 23/03/07, Kyle Hall <kyle.m.hall@gmail.com> wrote:
