VMWare Player Prebuilt Virtual Machines

Spotted via Duncan Lamb's site: the "Community Virtual Machines" page on the VMWare website, where you can download prebuilt virtual machines for use with VMWare and the new (free) VMWare Player, including:

Of course there's the standard "supported" VMs as well, including ones for Ubuntu, SuSE 10, Oracle on Red Hat and mySQL on SuSE. Sounds like an excellent way to try out a new distro or development environment without worry about laptop hardware compatibility.
