Hi folks,
does ROS run under lguest ?
I'm currently building an lguest-based VM (mass-)hosting service, and it would be a cool thing if ROS (as win32 alternative) could be easily run there.
My business model includes free VMs on spare resources, which can be quickly deployed (within a minute), for testing and fun. I'd like to provide ROS as one of the preinstalled images, so it will get a bit more audience :)

ROS isn't suitable as a server OS, it lacks a healthy network stack, we aren't sure if VNC works and it definitely isn't suitable for this kind of usage. It's in *ALPHA* stage, is very buggy, incomplete, and *NOT SUITABLE*for this kind of mainstream usage. Try Ubuntu instead.

My idea was to provide it as a little playgound (along with other not-so-well-known OS'es, eg. Plan9), just to have some fun (these installations will run charge-free on spare resources), hoping that this gets a bit more audience and helping hands to ros.
Anyways, having lguest support, would be a good thing: ros could reuse many resources of the host system (eg. networking, and a lot of devices supported by linux). Maybe some day that could fill the gap between native Windows and wine :)

You mean like http://www.oszoo.org/wiki/index.php/Free_Live_OS_Zoo ? (oh dear it seems down :() At least the VM server is up: http://floz.v2.cs.unibo.it:8880/

I didn't follow the discussion, but if you just want to showcase ROS live on the web I wrote a php script using QEMU and the VNC applet which does this for Haiku: http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/3rdparty/mmu_man/onlinedemo/haik...
