Linux Server on your Windows Desktop
As web technicians we often have to test and run our creations on a test site.
Here's a way you can have an apache server dishing up Drupal PHP and Perl cgi script running on your windows desktop.
Not only that, but you'll get the chance to experiment with a linux machine without having to partition your hard drive or log out of windows.
It's called Portable Ubuntu and it's built on top of the Cooperative Linux (Colinux) virtual machine.
Here's a review of the app.
All for free!
The Portable Ubuntu installation should give the user another machine on the network running Ubuntu which is accessible through local LAN IP using a remote desktop (for the graphical user interface) or a SSH tool like Putty. Or, indeed, your web browser.
