VMware Fusion Beta - 2 minutes to a live wiki
Having been a VMware bod for some years now (since 26th October 2000 to be exact), I thought it was about time I checked out the Beta of Fusion for OS X. Parallels Desktop has been the VM of choice for a month or three on the Intel based Macs I’ve got access to of late, but I get easily confused by the whole internationalization issue with Parallels and how they distribute updates - so it ain’t perfect.I won’t go in to detail on seeting VMware up. This is for Mac, so there really isn’t anything to it.Rather than go through a painful install from an .iso or DVD, I decided to kill two birds and go for a VMTN vm-in-a-box approach due to Jnr Breadedcod cutting his top teeth right now irl - so time and patience are both short to be honest. There’s a nifty ‘download’ button right in the application that will launch a browser and point you directly at the shrink-wrapped VMs available.  Anyway, for the purpose of tonight, I need to take a look at MediaWiki as a possible solution for a little project at work that has:
- very limited budget
- very little time to deliver
- lots of interested parties
- lots of potential politics
- potentially large public presence
Update: 17/10/08 - lost a few images here with the upgrade to WP2.3 so this either needs a re-edit or ignoring (after all, Fusion is actually out now).
