Hello to all, I should start out by saying I am new but didn't think the beginer thread was the proper place to ask. I would like to download a VM machine with Ubuntu 8.04 and VMtools just to make things go quicker. All I can find are bittorrent files. If someone here has a URL to point me to a .zip or .exe version that would be great. I am not getting anywhere with torrent and am also new to that (first time this afternoon seeing it) as well.

Dual boot Ubuntu 8.04 and WindowsXP Dell Dimention 8400

Thanks in advance for any direction you point me in. Mike:guitar:

Hello, I wanted to report that I did find and download a VMware image for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Tried several times to crete a new VM on my own with the Live-CD in VMware workstation 5.5 but no go. Then tried several times unsucessfully with torrent, it was so slow it reported 18+days to download! I thought I would share the link in case someone else would like it. It works great! BTW, this forum really rocks! Mike :guitar:
