Pick them up, shake them well and put it down. The result is T-O-R and the possibilities are truly amazing!

You’ve completed a successful installation of Tomcat, OpenLaszlo and Red5. The next step is writing an application which makes use of OpenLaszlo and Red5.

This paper shows you how you can use a Linux based infrastructure to deploy Windows XP images to machines on your network. This section gives a brief overview of the architecture that will be used to achieve the deployment and a list of the prerequisites for following the procedure.

Architecture
To install Windows XP over the network requires the following components:
• A DHCP server that supports PXE options.
• A Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server.
• A Boot Information Negotiation Layer (BINL) server.
• A CIFS/SMB server.

Prerequisites
• A Windows XP CD. I used Service Pack 2.
• A WinPE boot CD created using the SMS Operation System Deployment feature pack (OSD).
• You will also need two computers: one server and one client.

VMware® Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) transforms the way customers use and manage desktop operating systems. Desktop instances can be deployed rapidly in secure data centers to facilitate high availability and disaster recovery, protect the integrity of enterprise information, and remove data from local devices that are susceptible to theft or loss. Isolating each desktop instance in its own virtual machine eliminates typical application compatibility issues and improves users’ personal computing environments.

This guide offers best practices for creating Windows XP-based templates for VMware VDI-based solutions and for preparing the same templates for use with Virtual Desktop Manager 2.

Come October 22, 2009 Microsoft will launch Windows 7 worldwide, with markets around the globe scheduled to get tailored releases of the operating system. Because of antimonopoly regulations in Europe and the position of the European Antitrust Commission that the Windows - IE bundle is illegal, Microsoft will ship the E SKUs of Windows 7 in addition to the traditional N flavors for all European markets. E will be a mark for Windows 7 stripped of Internet Explorer 8, and although additional alternatives were being considered Microsoft opted to ship a browser-less platform in order to meet the October launch deadline. This offer is valid for the EU members as well as for Croatia and Switzerland. In this context, the Redmond company has published a webpage designed to guide users through installing the Windows 7 E editions.

This tutorial is going to explain how to set up the more powerful non-free edition, because of its advanced network settings. I am creating this tutorial to share my knowledge and experience in working with Virtual Machines.
