PostgreSQL Virtual Machines

Hello everyone,

I was wondering what people thought about having virtual machines
available for download (VMware, Xen, kvm, etc.) in addition to having
livecd's?  I figure at least the same basic idea as the livecd to have
many PostgreSQL related software pre-installed and ready to run. I
think it would be good to have more options for how PostgreSQL can be
tried.

Regards,
Mark

I suspect you're asking in order to get feedback on whether or not other
people think it's a good idea.  Don't do that.  Just do it.

Seriously.

If *you* think it's a good idea, go ahead.  That's what is important.
What
*you* think.  Just put one together, and put it out there.  Then ask
people
what they time about that.

While live CDs are aimed mainly at people looking for a test drive,
virtual machine images have an even broader appeal.  It would be great to
have some of them available just to make cross-platform QA and package
construction easier for people to do.

We like the idea too.  It would not only be useful for testing, but also for
training and tutorial demonstration
to be able to provide screenshots and presentations in people's native
elements.
