Activate Your My VMware Account

You must activate your My Vmware account before you can log in. To activate your account, open the confirmation email sent when you registered for your account and click the link in the email.

Please refer to the Apache documentation to find…

Little, hidden gems.

I was looking for a Tiny Core image with Firefox preinstalled, found this spartan web page: Marketplace – Firefox – GNS3 That has a hidden gem in it: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/gns-3/Qemu%20Appliances/linux-tinycore-linux-6.4-firefox-33.1.1-2.img A bootable image with a pretty recent web browser. It’s always useful.
