I'd like to set up a sage notebook for my class to use. At the AMS meetings, William mentioned that the easiest way to do this was to use the vmware appliance to run the notebook (even if I plan to run the appliance under linux). I presume the reasons have to do with security. I have the vmware appliance running now, so the initial setup is all good. However, the address is a 192.168.x.x address, which I presume is not visible outside of my network. Is there a way to get the sage vmware appliance visible to the world so students could use it from anywhere? When I installed vmware, I just used the defaults everywhere. Should I have chosen something different when answering questions about the networking?
Are there any security issues I should be aware of? I don't care if the vmware image gets messed up---I assume I can just reset it. I can back up my notebook worksheets so I don't lose work. I assume that people escaping the vmware appliance and getting into my computer is a non-issue; is that correct? In return for answers, I'll write an entry in the FAQ or a new page in the wiki :).
