That would be the debian image above.  It doesn't work right now.  Just use the ubuntu image I linked above, I'm using it now and it does work.

Ah, ok. Discovered why I didn't have network access on the VMs. Had to click on the properties for the "VMWare Network Adapter VMnet8" in Windows network configuration and enable the VMware Bridge Protocol. Then rebooted the VM and it picked up an IP. Will give the Ubuntu VM a shot once it's downloaded.

saratoga:
If you can upgrade perl, you can probably make the debian image work.  I tried for a little while, but so many of the dependencies are out of date that I couldn't get it to update.  And I didn't see much sense in screwing around with an ancient OS image when we have newer ones available.

You can revert the offending perl changes by creating a patch;

svn diff -r 30169:30168 > /tmp/revert_30169.patch
patch -p0 -i /tmp/revert_30169.patch

As long as we are on the Ubuntu subject, I found that you can directly go to Ubuntu website, download their latest Unbuntu's Windows install that would create a dual boot for your machine.  Then boot it up to Ubuntu.  For me, it's cleaner this way.
