Ubuntu Edgy Eft Knot 3 on VMWare Server

Overview More and more people are turning to virtualization these days. One of the main reasons is in order to test pre-release, beta, or alpha software. When it comes to Linux, the operating systems are in a state of constant flux so there's always something new to test.
