Bryce,
I am a natural victim for this, as I use both systems. What do I need to try? Is there a particularly simple/good/whatever way to install on Linux? I always seem to either stick something exactly where I want it, or configure and make, accepting all of the defaults. Since you seem to be somewhere in between (pre-built), I should play dumb and get some advise.
On Linux, I use shell scripts to load the image I want. To avoid concerns over which VM is loading, would I give a full path to the VM also?
I'd just unzip or untar the contents of the archives somewhere convenient. On Linux all the plug-ins are external so you need to move the entire directory tree. On Windows it's a single file as all plugins are built internally. I've followed the lead of the main VM maintainers for each platform for this. I can modify how these VMs are packaged if something else is more convenient. Bryce
