Comments on: Episode 42 – The Real World http://digitalcampus.tv/2009/05/21/episode-42-the-real-world/ A discussion of how digital media and technology are affecting learning, teaching, and scholarship at colleges, universities, libraries, and museums.

I found them tremendously interesting and an excellent preparation for my upcoming (second-career) MLIS studies at UBC. Having taught in the post-secondary system for over 20 years and having worked as an administrator for the last three years, I could certainly appreciate your thoughts and observations from both the faculty and administrator perspectives. Thank you for sharing your experience and insights so generously. Bea P.S. Please let me know when you accept applications for the University of Washington Zotero Trainer Workshop.

Don't bother investing in VMWare, at least until you try Virtual Box. In relatively short order you should be able to create virtual machine in Virtual Box, install your preferred flavor of Linux (Ubuntu, Suse, Mandriva, etc.) and then install Omeka locally. You will, of course, have to make sure your Linux environment is also running Apache, MySQL, and PHP 5.2 or greater. Thanks for listening. Tom Pete,

The Omeka web sandbox is great, but having a more permanent "sandbox" would be helpful. Or should I just bite the bullet and run Linux/VMWare.
