eyeos Virtual Server released

We know there is people with problems to test eyeos with a complete install (including support for reading and writing Office files) and we have heen working to find an easy solution. We’re happy to announce the availability of a new package (a Virtual image for Virtualbox, free software virtualization platform) which contains a full Linux server (Debian stable) and a full eyeos system installed. To run it you only need to unzip the file and import it to your Virtualbox 3.x through the Import menu. Once started, the server will load eyeos and everything it need to run, and after that, a Firefox browser to test it. You can also test it from any computer connected to the network accessing to the IP that Virtualbox gave to your virtual eyeos server.

Please note that we’ll release a new virtual image for every new version, but there won’t be an easy method to update to a new eyeos version without downloading and unzipping the files manually from inside the Debian (running the single user mode from the boot menu). The purpose of this release is to give an easy way to test eyeos with Office support under Windows, Linux or Mac running Virtualbox 3.x.

Please note that the default user and passwords for eyeos is root / root. The Linux password is also root. Please change them as soon as you start trying your new eyeos server!

You can download it from the english downloads page. Virtualbox 3.x is not included and must be downloaded and installed from Virtualbox.org. If you have any problem, this wiki page may help you.

    This is cool, but I think, a downstripped XAMPP (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) would be easier and faster, wouldn’t it?

    An OpenVZ ( http://www.openvz.org ) Template for eyeOS v1.8.7.1 has been released and is usable under the ProxMox Interface ( http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/EyeOS ). Please provide details for OpenOffice Integration into the build script ( http://www.chrishonline.com/files/EyeOS1871Make.zip ) that can be used with their Bebian Appliance Builder (DAB).
