including debugging in the nested Xephyr X server is available. This
appliance is targeted at the N800’s Maemo Bora 3.0 platform. This is of
particular interest to developers who are thinking about developing for

You know I think I have VMware laying around on one of my external hard drives. Time to investigate! If you’re going to check this out then write a review: I’m talking to you ThoughtFix, Reggie, and Eugenia.
Taken from the description on VMware’s site:
This is a standard install of Ubuntu 6.10 server, with the following additions:
- Base Gnome Desktop install (some components have been stripped out, e.g. Open Office, Evolution)
- Apophis R4 Scratchbox installed to /scratchbox
- Maemo 3.0 Bora SDK with SDK_ARMEL and SDK_X86 targets installed with CPU transparency
- Xephyr X Server (for scratchbox debugging)
- Eclipse 3.2.1 with PyDev and CDK extensions
- SciTE Editor
- Some other tools (vim, etc.)
- VMWare Tools (autostart on login)
- Some branding of the desktop
This VM can be used to quickly edit, compile, and test code targeted for the Maemo platform, which runs on Nokia N800 Internet Tablet devices.
