I noticed two promotions at VMWare that may be of interest: $100 off VMWare for any LUG member or a free copy for any educator. For LUG members: https://www.vmware.com/linuxuser/linuxuser_login.jsp For educators: https://www.vmware.com/academic/academic_login.jsp Note: I am in not associated with VMWare. Just happened to find these when looking for information.
