And there are some functionalities of the jumpboxes that are not enabled without a subscription. (ssh and backup for instance) But if you want to just grab and test some software its hard to beat. Download, open the vm and you are running. Its really great. Running multiple instances I think can only done with the subscriptions.

What about running multiple projects? For example I want to run Mantis and WordPress? Can you do that within one JumpBox? Aha! Well that rocks! What about running multiple projects?

Jump boxes are free. You only pay for subscriptions if you want support. You can run them all you like for nothing. You can even get vmware player for free and use them to your hearts content for no money. its really slick. Thats the best part. Jump boxes are free.

Big thing for me was I couldn't justify the subscription cost for a quick evaluation... If I was actually deploying it then JumpBox would look much more attractive. Probably the best of both worlds would be to install your Bitnami stack on an OS running in a VM. :) JumpBox does look cool and I agree running it in a VM is nice because it doesn’t install anything on your local box.

They create virtual machine images for VMWare, parallels and soon I think Amazon ec2. No extra configuration, no installation on your machine. And then you can play with the software to your hearts content. No pain, no fuss. Check them out. http://www.jumpbox.com/ I much prefer jump boxes for this kind of stuff.

Reminds me of Pulse for Eclipse. (http://www.poweredbypulse.com). Same idea: you select the configuration of Eclipse, say with CFEclipse, Subversion, Mylyn, etc., and you can save it as a profile, and install it in minutes on whatever machine you are placed in front of. I like this idea. Thanks for the heads up! This is great. Reminds me of Pulse for Eclipse. (http://www.poweredbypulse.com).

Do you know of any reason this wouldn’t work on a virtual machine.
