[Sugar-devel] virtual appliances are virtualiser specific?

[Thomas C Gilliard]

I have used VMware Player to run them [1]:
I have not tested further on this topic.

On Creating a New VirtualBox Appliance:

"Please choose the type of file that you would like to use for the new 
virtual disk.
If you do not need to use it with other virtualization software you can 
leave this setting unchanged."
*VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image)
*VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk)

  *VHD    (Virtual Hard Disk)
  *HDD    (Parallels Hard Disk)

There may be a way to convert them.
  I use the VMDK format.
