Last Thursday I announced the creation of a tutorial that stepped you through the process of downloading a VMware server and creating a XubunTOS virtual machine within it. Now I am announcing a tutorial that allows you to run a pre-configured XubunTOS virtual machine image inside of VMware Player.
VMware server is a free tool that allows you to create and manage multiple virtual machines in parallel from a single desktop.
An alternative to the VMware server is the VMware player. VMware player takes virtual machines created by a VMware server and allows you to run them, but not modify them. It is a light weight alternative to the VMware server when a virtual machine has already been provided to you.
If you are not concerned with setting up the XubunTOS virtual machine yourself, and just want to get started using TinyOS as fast as possible, then a pre-configured XubunTOS virtual machine that runs in VMware player is the option for you.
Instructions on where to get the XubunTOS virtual machine, how to install VMware, and how to get XubunTOS running correctly can be found at the link below:
