This is good fro j2ee developers. Nice.

We built it to use and didn't put it together for the competition. The USB capability lets you move your workspace from home to work and back if needed, or to another developers workstation. It worked so well in our shop we decided to enter it in the competition.

Yes, it is TOO large to download unless you have an extremely good Internet connection. We have Verizon "fiber to the home" connection in our area so it can be transmitted. We will work on getting it on a DVD or trying removing all the extras that come with Debian. We really hadn't planned to enter it in the competition that was a last minute decision (hence the large size). We entered it simply because it worked so well for us. I am an outsourced mainframe technician and this little package was an absolute blessing.

any ideas ?

I downloaded this one twice using BitComet, tried to unpack it using 7-zip, powerarchiver (two versions, including the latest) and WinZip (latest) on 3 different systems, all running Windows XP.
8 other appliances unpacked and work well.
What software is used to pack this zip file, on what platform ?

I'm stuck, any suggestions please ?

I used winzip on Winodws XP. I zipped the entire VM directory.
