Thanks @felixfaire and @petros, I’m mainly interested in deploying the final product on a Linux machine. I’m wanting to make use of TooLoop, in fact the creator posted on the Cinder forum a while back ( Tooloop Open Media Server ) about it. I’ve run some other installations using it and removing Windows or OSX has removed so many headaches from my life. My primary aim of developing on a virtual machine is to save me having to setup a physical machine as a dev machine and instead just develop on my laptop. I’d prefer to do that than go the dual-boot route as that caused so many issues on my old machine I’d rather just avoid it altogether.
I’ll report back on any findings. Thanks again for the input.
