When I went to import the vmware file into VirtualBox, it only allowed files named *.ovf, and that's not the extension for VMWare, which is *.vmdk. I'm hesitant to just rename file extensions.
>From all the Sage docs it looks like the approved virtual host in VirtualBox, but from all the file distributions it seems VMWare is supported. Should I just switch to VMWare and give up on VirtualBox? I don't want to do that if the sage-virtualbox-*.* are temporarily pulled for some reason. I've gotten Sage running on a Linux box, and I've gotten Sage installed on a virtual install of Linux in a VirtualBox, but I'd like to see how a customized distribution of Sage works in the VirtualBox. I'm looking for the easiest solution to demo for some math teachers. I can understand why porting to Windows is a problem, but I'd like to find the easiest local solution for Windows users to try.
