If you ever wanted to try out Linux but didn’t want to go through the hassle of installing and configuring it (and you’re on broadband), this is a great way to do it for free:
Community-built virtual machines are built and hosted by individuals in the VMware community. The list of community-built virtual machines contains a growing set of virtual machines designed for a variety of purposes. See what your peers in the community are building.To download any of the pre-built virtual machines below, simply download the virtual machine and run it in the free VMware Player.
They have preinstalled Fedora, FreeBSD, SUSE w/KDE, Kubuntu and even ReactOS.
Do you not need the full VMWare installed, just the player?
Yep. Just the player. No need for the full version unless you want to create your own VMs.
i will definitely have to try it out.
