What does the appliance do and what unique value does it provide to the intended audience:
This appliance sounds like it will provide great benefit to its intended audience.

Innovative use of virtualization technology:
Medium. While use of virtualisation to deploy pre-configured software is nothing new, I haven't previously seen an IDE that actually produces VM deployment targets.

Size of the appliance relative to functionality and performance:
A complete WYSIWYG development environment in 9MB, impressive.

Comments:
This appliance looks to be small, feature rich and unique, it really seems like a lot of effort has gone into this entry. I will definetly be downloading this appliance to find out if it lives up to its description.

Note : This review is based only on the appliance description, not on the actual appliance

Nice. Runs well. good work

Nothing to write home about.

Really? but in your oppinion a 600+ MB install of Linux with a single non-customized application installed on it with no user interface is " Pretty innovative" ? Maybe you should get yourself a dictionary before you start trying to use big words.

Direct download of APhPLIX Development Studio VM is now available from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=169839

How easily you discount someone else's enterprise. What have you contributed of value? Certainly not that response.

I need to extend the environment to use RRDTool - is it best I install your toolkit into a ubuntu appliance (with php5/sqlite) and then add rrdtool there and program directly in the appliance - not through your ide?? Your thoughts would be appreciate. PS - you forum is being spammed.
