Aerospace Software Virtual Machines

We regularly create virtual machines for our own use. Since others may also find them useful, we decided to upload the new ones to our public server.

Citadel Groupware Server.

Citadel is one of the best kept secrets on the internet. It goes back to about 1985, yet few people are aware that it provides a turn key mail, calendar, chat and discussion forum system for small to large scale use.

This mail system can readily replace an Exchange mail server for hundreds or thousands of users with terabytes of mail. Yet, it is so small, that it will run on a netbook machine.

There is a VM on the Citadel web site, but it doesn't work - they used a weird VMware configuration that no-one else has. So here is ours, installed on OpenSuse. Visit the OpenSuse Forums for help.

Eclipse Integrated Development Environment

The Eclipse VM is installed on OpenSuse with the Eclipse IDE and the kernel source and headers compiled to ensure that all dependencies for software development are resolved properly. It also includes Geany, which is my favourite IDE, Gedit, Joe and Nano for serious programmers.

This VM is good for general purpose use to build on with other applications. The OpenSuse Yast wizards and software installer is just a click away.

Have fun!
