Hello,
Despite sage_vmware-*.zip being bar far the most popular Sage
download, we will not be distributing Sage as a vmware image anymore.
Over the weekend I created a Sage distribution aimed at Windows users
based on "puppy Linux" using Virtual Box:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wstein/binaries/sage_vbox-4.1.2.zip
It's a 659MB download. However, once you download and extract the
zip, the resulting files still only use 659MB. If you then import the
virtual machine into VirtualBox (follow the included readme), you'll
use a total of just over 700MB disk space. This is *much* better than
the 3.5GB used by the extracted sage-vmware-*.zip! Interestingly,
it's also much better than the 1.5GB used by an extracted Sage install
on Linux or OS X.
What I need very much is for some people to test sage_vbox-4.1.2.zip.
Please test and report back.
