For those of you who feel like experimenting a bit this morning, here's a link to a perfectly good and working VMware image of a "One Laptop Per Child" system (mirror #1, mirror#2). Don't forget that if you want to run that image, you'll need to install VMware Player on your system first. Here are some detailed instructions:





Download VMware Player (Free) and install it

Download the OLPC image mirror #1, mirror#2 ) and unzip it on your drive

Double click on the "OLPC" Vmware config file

Tell the player it is ok to change the system’s UUID and click through the error messages

Voilà! You now have a fully functional OLPC system running on your box.

Here are some alternate instructions for those of you who want to try this under Mac OSX.



Have fun! (thanks Tuttle SVC!)
