I'm definitely going to make an official minimal VirtualBox sage install at some point, probably in late September or early October... unless somebody beats me to it. At this point VirtualBox is like a massive breath of fresh air compared to vmware. Actually, very often good open source software is like a massive breath of fresh air compared to the closed source equivalents. This has nothing to do with free or even being able to look at the source or some warm fuzzy from the abstract fact that the software is open source -- the design and UI just feels very different (in an extremely good way) with mature open source software. Anyway, +1 to open source :-) William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
