Setting Up a Virtual Machine 73
Downloading Virtual Appliances
If you don't have enough time to create a new virtual machine with the required configuration,
you can download a ready-to-use virtual machine with a predefined configuration. Besides the
basic configuration, prebuilt virtual machines may have a set of applications installed, so that
you can do without spending time on installing and setting up the required software.
Downloading Parallels Virtual Appliances
Parallels Virtual Appliances are prebuilt Linux virtual machines with preinstalled services and
applications that were created either by Parallels or by Parallels partners and are available for
