Basically, there are two different Maemo SDK Virtual Images: one virtual image with Ubuntu Server installed, and another one with Ubuntu Desktop. The Ubuntu Server based image does not have Maemo development environment (like Scratchbox or Maemo SDKs) preinstalled and is mainly used together with Maemo [https://esbox.garage.maemo.org ESbox] Eclipse IDE as build environment. The Maemo SDK VIrtual Image with Ubuntu Desktop is mainly used as out-of-box ready Maemo development environment that has Scratchbox, Maemo Fremantle and Diablo SDK, and ESbox Eclipse IDE environments preinstalled. |

Since the virtual images are very large files (for example, image file with Ubuntu Desktop is about 9GB), the process to uncompress the image may take several minutes, depending on how fast is your machine. Generally, it takes about 5 minutes to uncompress Ubuntu Server based Maemo SDK Virtual Image, and about 17 minutes to uncompress Ubuntu Desktop based Maemo SDK Virtual Image. |

If you’re using VMWare as virtualization environment, Maemo SDK Virtual Image distribution package already provides a *.vmx description file that can be used to load Maemo virtual image.
