I am currently using VMPlayer to host Windows 2008/SharePoint 2010. I created a virtual environment and I would like the ability to revert to snapshots or restore points.
Is this possible?
You can just pause the VM and make a copy the VM folder.
No, VMWare Player won't allow that.
From their FAQ page:
How does VMware Player compare to VMware Workstation and VMware ACE?
VMware Player enables you to quickly and easily create and run virtual machines. However, VMware Player lacks many powerful features, such as Teams, multiple Snapshots and Clones, or Virtual Rights Management features for end-point security found in VMware Workstation and VMware ACE.
You can mange snapshots with command line tool vmrun which comes with VmWare workstation. You do not need to run workstation and buy it. You can just install it and use vmRun for snapshots and VmWare Player for running VM

I have installed and configured avahi-daemon and samba on Centos 6.6 and it's working when I am testing it from an Ubuntu machine. e.g.: ping myhostname.local or smb://myhostname.local
However, when I try from a windows machine, neither samba works nor I can ping it via ping myhostname
Can anyone please explain me the possible difference between what Windows does and what Ubuntu does.
Besides, it would be great if Windows could list my server when browsing network, but I don't know if I should enable something like a broadcast or just normal configuration is adequate.
Thanks a log in advance.
I've just post an answer to the same question on serverfault:

I am currently using Windows Powershell with Git I am mainly developing websites but I have noticed some developers like to use Putty Wanted to get some of your thoughts if its needed if I am using the PowerShell already since its a ssh.
Sounds like you are confusing the both. PowerShell is a shell environment for windows. Putty is a terminal emulator, mostly used for SSH and Telnet. Perhaps you are reffering to Cygwin, which is a Linux "emulator" which provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows.. Cygwin ships with Bash, but you can choose to use whatever shell or package using the installer.

Our team is starting to use Vagrant for development on Mac OS X machines so we can better simulate our Red Hat Enterprise Linux production environment. Our operations group says our Red Hat License only covers instances being run on our VMWare cluster. How do other people deal with RHEL licensing using Vagrant?
We were in the same situation and decided to use CentOS on our developer boxes. https://www.centos.org/
I downloaded basic rhel server I found online and built a vagrant box with Packer for use in Vagrant/Test Kitchen. I'm forced to use various other repositories (CentOS/EPEL/RPMFusion etc) instead of the RHN repos which I don't have access to without licensing. I actually wrote a small chef cookbook to write all the custom /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files after initial install. It definitely works for a dev environment. If you have access to different ISOs then you can built whatever versions of rhel that you need with Packer.

Have you tried this?

Have you also checked the developer subscriptions?

There is a blog specifying how to use vagrant with RHEL... but I can't post 3 links :(
Here is a proposal (I am using this approach since I am also working with rhel vagrant boxes for running ansible scripts)
Create a red hat developers account here (click on register).
Download an rhel vagrant box from here (you will have to log in with your previously created account.
Fire up your box and ssh into it.
Follow these instructions to register your vm

I'm running Eclipse in an Ubuntu VM and when I go to Help -> Install New Software, the box that displays the updates is blank for any update site. It seems like it may be a SWT rendering issue with the VirtualBox display drivers, but I'm not sure. Has anyone else seen this?
VirtualBox 4.1.16
Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit
Kernel 3.2.0-24
Virtual Box Guest Additions 4.1.16
Eclipse 3.7.2
It turns out that one of the configuration files in the workspace .metadata folder was corrupt.

I am using windows XP, I created a virtual machine using VMware player and installed Ubuntu in it.
I want to have a shared folder between windows and my virtual machine, so I installed VMware tools, enabled the shared folders and named them. However, when I am on ubuntu, I don't see the link... I tried several time, re-install VMware tools and updated my VMware player but it's still not working...
Does anybody already had this problem?
Versions I am using: VMware player 3.1.2, Ubuntu 11.04, VMware tools 8.4.4
