Today we announce the release of the Virtual Bugzilla Server, a virtual machine with pre-installed Bugzilla bug tracking system. This compilation of open-source software based on technology from VMWare, Inc. allows to save hours or even days of effort often required to install Bugzilla.

Virtual Bugzilla Server is a free downloadable zip file that contains a virtual machine (VM) with pre-installed Bugzilla. It takes advantage of the technology provided by VMWare, Inc. that allows an operating system to run as a standard application on your computer. To run the virtual machine one needs to get VMWare Player, freely available from the VMWare website.
