Maybe we should test to see if the application is being run inside a

pop up a message at login next to the hello message perhaps?
or just amend the welcome.txt message with a note which is shown to
everyone.
osgEarth ships with a new executable which checks OpenGL capabilities:
osgearth_version --caps
My proposal is to start the tutorial calling this to check wether the
viewer
will work. I will ask the osgEarth people for help on this.

Is it possible to test if you are running in a VM?
you can look at what's in /proc/cpuinfo, but I doubt that's very
reliable.
part of the point of having a VM is that the experience is seamless.
fwiw, my experience is that VMs are pretty well established with
those in
my department who use Macs (needed to run pc-only software), but as
for
even the most technical-aware pc and unix people, not at all. ymmv.
