Dang......... I went to that site and was impressed; yet I was not at all inclined to try it out. WHY? .....Suddenly it dawns on me that my closed-minded attitude was because of VM-prejudice ( :-) ) - I'm a Linux user and so am oriented toward QEMU and VirtualBox (I presume that VMware is a favorite and best choice for Windows users). I'd guess there are a number of us who have never checked out JanusVM because we don't want to learn VMware just to experiment with a single application. A quick google came up with this: <http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-convert-vmware-image-to-virtualbox-image.html> JanusVM seems an important application; and I don't want to reinvent the wheel putting TOR into a VM! So I hope to play with conversion sometime next week. But if you already know how to do this (convert), how about putting a note on your web page telling VB and Qemu users how to use JanusVM on their VM host of choice? *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
