-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is the same thing which I do. I have 1 VM Session that has my Testing software installed on it that I can play with which allows me to not mess up my actual workstation. I have 1 VM Session running OpenSuse that houses the Subversion and MySQL Databases for all of my Development. I have 1 VM Session running Windows 2000 Pro that has CF7 Installed on JRUN and Apache. My Actual workstation has Eclipse, mysql gui tools along with other eclipse plugins so I can connect to these VM Sessions.
When I am doing development, I will fireup the OpenSuse and Windows 2K VMWare Sessions and then also Eclipse. The windows vmware session has a mapped drive to my local host and when I am ready to test some code, I would then simply copy the code to the windows vmware session and browse it within a browser. When I am satisfied with my changes, I would then commit them to SVN which goes to the OpenSuse VMWare Session. When I am done making changes, I shutdown the VMWare Sessions and zip up the directory to burn to a DVD.
