Free vmware ipo software for linux

SlaBuntuVMware is a useful installation suite for installing VMware Server on Slackware or Ubuntu.

The project automatically downloads packages from the VMware site.

Tested on Slackware 11. (Slackware 10.2 might not work - try)
Tested on Ubuntu Desktop Dapper Drake and Ubuntu Desktop Edgy.

IMPORTANT: this suite does not include the vmware server packs,
they are downloaded from the official VMware site.
You also need a server key for activating the product that you must
get (for free) from the VMware web-site (http://www.vmware.com/server/)

INSTALLATION (Slackware Linux) :

a) 1- The perfect setup for running vmware on Slackware is:
Slackware 11 (When you install the OS leave a big partion for your
virtual machines).

Using a good server with an hardware raid controller:

Suggested Partition Table (scsi disks, if ide hda):
/dev/sda1 swap (megs?gb? depends on your system)
/dev/sda2 / 10Gb
/dev/sda3 /home 2Gb
/dev/sda4 /vm (160 Gb the rest for your virtual machines)

You must do a normal install with X support but no KDE.


2- Dropline Gnome (http://www.droplinegnome.net)
It is suggested you run gnome on Slackware 11. Gnome is not
included in the distro cds, therefore you must download
Dropline Gnome.

3- Kernel 2.6.x (with the kernel sources into /usr/src/linux)
(Default Kernel 2.4.33.3 works perfectly though)

CAUTION: take a look on www.vmware.com for the
supported kernel 2.6 versions.

OR

- If you have problems building 2.6.x vmware kernel module, just use
the normal 2.4.33.3 kernel supplied with your slackware, or try the test26.s
or huge26.s supplied with your slackware cds.

b) - The base setup for running vmware on Slackware is:
1- Slackware 11
2- Kde(not tested can have problems with some libraries)
(if you do not want to Download and install Dropline Gnome)
3- Kernel 2.4.33 (with the kernel sources into /usr/src/linux)

Using a normal pc with no raid controller (so you should use linux
raid software):

Suggested Partition Table (scsi disks, if ide hda):
/dev/md1 swap (megs?gb? depends on your system)
/dev/md2 / 10Gb
/dev/md3 /home 2Gb
/dev/md4 /vm (100 Gb? the rest for your virtual machines)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you do not want to use Gnome or Kde go at the end of this file.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) After making sure you have everything (including the kernel sources
inside /usr/src/linux) you can run:

3) as root ./setup.sh

4) follow the steps provided
(you can hit ENTER to most of the questions (90%)

4) provide the vmware free key when needed
(ask for it on the site http://www.vmware.com)

6) under an X session: Run the command "vmware" and Enjoy vmware!

INSTALLATION (Ubuntu Desktop, Alternate,NOT Server):

1) edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment all the lines starting with deb

2) open a terminal (xterm) and type "sudo ./setup.sh"

3) follow the steps provided
(you can hit ENTER to most of the questions (90%)

4) provide the vmware free key when needed
(ask for it on the site http://www.vmware.com)

5) Run the command "vmware" and Enjoy vmware!

INSTALLATION ON UBUNTU SERVER

- Not tried yet, but you should at first download and install X11 and gnome
and then follow the steps provided for Ubuntu Desktop above.

IMPORTANT INFO:

- Remember that vmware server packs are downloaded from the official vmware
site and are property of the VMware Company: http://www.vmware.com/

- Remember that in order to use VMware you should accept the terms of the
VMware license that will be displayed during the installation process.

- Remember that in order to installa VMware you should ask the VMware
fellows for a key. Do this at the VMware site: http://www.vmware.com/

- To create virtual machines you should use the vmware console.
a) Run the command "vmware" and the vmware console starts up.
b) Then connect to localhost.

- After created a virtual machine to run it from the cmd line use:
bash# vmware-cmd vmname.vmx start

Damn Vulnerable Linux (DVL) is a Linux-based (modified Damn Small Linux) tool for IT-Security & IT-Anti-Security and Attack & Defense. Damn Vulnerable Linux was initiated for training tasks during university lessons by the IITAC (International Institute for Training, Assessment, and Certification).
Damn Vulnerable Linux (DVL) is highly integrated into the community project crackmes.de (http://www.crackmes.de) and is frequently updated with new community provided lessons. Damn Vulnerable Linux (DVL) is your place either to get the latest Damn Vulnerable Linux (DVL) distribution, to get new lessons, or to submit own lessons based on the Damn Vulnerable Linux (DVL) training system.
Damn Vulnerable Linux (DVL) is provided without any fee or charge! Actually, it is a perverted Linux distribution made to be as insecure as possible. It is collection of IT-Security and IT-Anti-Security tools. Additional it includes a fullscaled lesson based environment for Attack & Defense on/for IT systems for self-study or teaching activities during university lectures. Its a Live Linux Distro, which means it runs from a bootable CD in memory without changing the native operating system of the host computer.
As well it can be run within virtual machine environments, such as qemu or vmware. There is no need to install a virtual machine if you use the embedded option. Its sole purpose in life is to put as many security tools at your disposal with as much training options as it can. It contains a huge ammount of lessons including lesson description - and solutions if the level has been solved by a community member at crackmes.de.
Damn Vulnerable Linux (DVL) is meant to be used by both novice and professional security personnel but is not ideal for the Linux uninitiated. Damn Vulnerable Linux (DVL) assumes you know the basics of Linux as most of your work will be done from the command line. If you are completely new to Linux, its best you stop playing with this system.

Maemo Live CD is a Knoppix (in fact Kanotix) based Linux distribution that contains a pre-built Maemo Environment as well as scratchbox for developing applications.

Thus the Live CD can be used for demonstrating the Maemo GUI and for developing applications without having to install scratchbox.

Since the Live CD is still alpha quality you might run into one of the issues listed at the bottom of the page.

Usage:

You can use the Live CD just like any Knoppix CD to boot directly into an XFCE desktop with a running Xvnc and a scratchbox terminal. In this terminal you can start the Maemo GUI and applications.

Since version 0.5a it is also possible to work over a TCP/IP network, either between physically connected machines or between a host machine running VMware or Virtual PC. For this purpose, the scratchbox directory is available as samba share, SSH login is allowed and the Maemo GUI is exported via Xvnc.

1 . Boot the Maemo Live-CD. If you do not need the GUI, edit the "kernel" line in grub and add "3" to boot to runlevel 3.
1 . Use your favourite SSH-Client to log in to the Maemo box. Login is "knoppix", password is "maemo".
1 . Set some environment variables: export DISPLAY=localhost:3.0 export LANGUAGE=en_GB
1 . Start the Maemo GUI /scratchbox/login af-sb-init.sh start
1 . Use your favourite VNC-Viewer to connect to Xvnc, do not forget to connect to "ip-address:3", since Xvnc is running on display 3.
1 . A Samba server provides access to /home, /tmp and /scratchbox.

Wordpress project is the leading open source blogging platform that has rocketed to popularity thanks to its open design and powerful features. This JumpBox includes Wordpress version 2.1.2.

WHY USE A JUMPBOX

Its Simple

Open Source applications are great. The applications are powerful, inexpensive and get the job done. But installing and configuring those applications can be a pain. A JumpBox delivers Open Source applications in a way that makes them simple to try, run and operate.

Its Quick

Actually downloading a JumpBox will take the most time. Once thats done, youre just a few minutes from having a working application that can serve multiple users.

Its Portable

A JumpBox collects the application, application dependencies and all application data into a single bundle that can easily be moved from one computer to another. This allows you to start running the application on your desktop and then as usage grows move it to a server without needing to reinstall or reconfigure. Plus with support for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux you can even move the application between platforms with little effort.

Its Safe

Manually installing Open Source applications not only takes a lot of time and effort, but when youre done its still left to you to figure out how to protect the data the application manages. With a JumpBox its easy to add automatic backups of the entire state of the application.

Its Virtual

A JumpBox application is a virtual appliance that bundles the open source application and all its runtime dependencies into a single package that runs on top of virtualization software from VMWare, Parallels or Xen. This means all JumpBox applications automatically gain the benefits of traditional server virtualization and can be dropped into existing virtualization infrastructure when available.

Its Comfortable

JumpBox provides a consistent runtime environment for all applications that we bundle. The applications may differ considerably, but their installation and operation will be familiar no matter which JumpBox you choose.

Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively.

More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine.

For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware, in a way which is much more optimal than using any general purpose PC virtualization software.

In its current condition, it allows us to run the KNOPPIX Japanese Edition on Windows.

DAMP (DragonFly BSD + Apache + MySQL + PostgreSQL + PHP) is a port of the popular LAMP deployment from the Linux world into DragonFly BSD.

It also includes phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin for easy Web management of the database engines.

DAMP is available as a VMware appliance.

Dfly BSD began as a fork of the FreeBSD 4.x series operating system and its goal is to fix certain design mistakes that FreeBSD was apparently making (especially in its SMP functionality) while also providing other advanced functionality such as distributed dynamic secure clustering.

It is considered that Dfly BSD rivals both FreeBSD 6.x and Linux 2.6.x in performance, while providing excellent stability and security out of the box. This appliance is an opportunity for everybody interested in experimenting with Dfly BSD and the two most popular open-source database engines.
