I while back, I downloaded an image of SugarCRM and used it to manage a job search. I wrote up my on my blog.

Rather than spend the first couple of days setting up a complex environment, a newbie can actually do productive work in an environment set up by someone who knows the wrinkles of the particular architecture, stack, build system, etc.

Bug fixes are my favorite way to get introduced to a new codebase.

I’ve seen some cool stuff like a 30 MB tiny linux / Python image on the VM Ware site.

I’d love to have a Mac image on my computer for crossplatform development testing, but I don’t want to buy a full OS license.

(and yes, I’ve seen the torrents… wondering if there is a legal recourse)

It’s OK for sales/pre-sales/mobile developers on laptops, but if it’s a workstation, get a spare decent sized SATA hard drive and install it internally.
