VMWare has announced a contest paying $200k for a virtual appliance. Basically what they want is a virtual machine pre-configured to perform a specific task that you can just install and turn on.
The Doyen CD with Axiom and the Axiom wiki installed comes to mind as a potential "scientific platform". see http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/challenge t _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
