It appears that the free VMware player can't just read an iso. Where can I get a good Ubuntu virtual appliance?
The 'image' you're looking for is not an iso, it's a special VMWare image. Try this one: http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/ubuntu.html

Ryan,
The VMWare player is the best starting point. Just download and install the player, then get an image from somewhere (you can find a plethora of them on the VMWare web site). After downloading the image, its as simple as double clicking on the file in explorer or launching it via the start menu.

I am trying to use Numpy/Scipy for a class I am teaching this summer. I have one student running Vista. Is there an installer that works for Vista? Running the exe file from webpage gives errors about not being able to create various folders and files. I think this is from Vista being very restrictive about which files and folders are writable. Is anyone out there running Numpy/Scipy in Vista? If so, how did you get it to work?
Install Ubuntu? ;) I've heard nothing but complaints and nasty words from co-workers stuck with new computers and trying to use Vista as a development platform for scientific work.
Just a follow-up, vmware is now given away and Ubuntu has always been free, and I guess most computers with Vista have native support for virtualization. So, this way you could run Ubuntu and Vista simultaneously without a speed loss on either or partitioning the drive. Of course, if it were me I'd put Ubuntu as the host OS and probably never boot the guest OS. ;) _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
