Pre-configured VMware hobbitserver available for download

[Henrik Stoerner]

I've put together a VMware virtual machine configured with Debian Linux
and a Hobbit server installation. If you have the VMware Player
installed (free download from www.vmware.com), this lets you have a
demonstration / test / play-around-with-stuff Hobbit server running
without setting up a dedicated server for it.

Since VMware Player is available for MS-Windows, it will even let you
run a Hobbit server on a Windows-based system, although at the cost
of having a virtual server running (i.e. you'll need a bit of RAM
to support it).

For those who want to play with it, it is available from the Hobbitmon
"Files" area on sourceforge.net. Choose the "hobbitdemo" package:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128058&package_id=200171

Just one warning: It's a 250 MB download.
