Deploying on virtual machines

Hi!

I was wondering what are /prog/'s opinion on deploying on a VMWare image instead of an installer.

That's because i have a small app developed on Linux+Perl+PostgreSQL. The issue is that most customers does not have Linux installed, only Windows machines. So, i want to make the deployment on a VM and running on VMWare Player.

Memory is not such an issue because with 256MB of ram my app runs fine.

Also, there is the issue of security. I don't want anyone to just copy the Virtual Machine and take it home, so i guess it must be encrypted someway.

Thanks, /prog/!

D'aww, this is so cute.  She ran out of arguments (as if she ever had any) so she proceeds to the game of ad hominem battleship.
