[Glass] GLASS appliance (VMWare virtual machine) still available?

[FrankB via Glass]

Hello 

and thank you very much for this super quick reply.

I am currently (still) using Win7 for development but I also have a Linux
(SuSe) machine next to me as my "application testing lab". There are VMware
and VirtualBox installed on both (I am moving all from VM [due to several
security problems] to VirtualBox, which is also much simpler to handle). I
shall never ever use any Mac!

>. What things would you like to learn?
Well, seeing is believing! Many things get much clearer if one has DONE
them.

Additionally, I would like to get a - even if subjective - feeling for
performance. My projects have quite complex objects (database publishing
amongst other use cases) and I would probably try to create a couple of test
objects to play with - rather more read-write than select.

Also, I want to get to know better the selecting capabilities and compare
them to my alternative (and currently in theory preferred) indexing through
Sphinx. I must be prepared to support a couple of 10.000 simultaneous users
as another of my projects (huge  market niche) has this potential.

>Do you want a traditional GUI IDE or would you be willing to learn the
built-in command-line interface? 

Well, a question that I cannot fully answer due to my lack of knowledge. I
though that this was handled primarily through Pharo. I am NOT positive
about command line interfaces but, of course, I use them when required but
being an application focused developer I regard hardware and OS as
unfortunately indispensable tools (it's even more stupid than sad that the
Unix world has not learned anything in the last 30 years in this respect;
SuSe's GUI tools are a tiny first step).
 
Therefore, if you have anything better than command line it will be highly
welcome.

BTW: I was NOT expecting that you make one for me specifically but I rather
thought that this was a "normal" subject for such a high-end tool.

But in any case thank you in advance.

FrankB
