[Tinyos-help] Good choice of linux for Dell latitude 600 and tinyos2

[Kevin Klues]

Also, in case you're interested in a virtual machine solution whereby
XubunTOS runs inside vmware, I have created a VM that can be found
here:

http://sing.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/xubuntos-2.0-vm.tar.gz

All I did was install the XubunTOS on the virtual machine and tar it
all up.  You can of course do this yourself, but if you want to skip
this step, feel free to grab it from here.    The default username is
xubuntos and the password is tinyos (and the time zone is San
Francisco time :).

Of course you first need the FREE vmware server installed before doing so:
http://vmware.com/download/server/

In ubuntu I installed it via:
sudo apt-get install vmware-server
vmware-server-kernel-modules-2.6.20-16
vmware-tools-kernel-modules-2.6.20-16

then untar xubuntos-2.0-vm.tar.gz into
/var/lib/vmware-server/Virtual Machines

then run `vmware` from the command line and select connect to local
vm.  You should see the Xubuntos 2.0 vm as a selection.

None of this has been tested yet other than on my local machine, so
any feedback on using it would be greatly appreciated.
