Android OS

Android is a new OS for mobile devices. However, it is slowly making its way to laptops as well. You can read more about it on the official website. If you want to try it out you can download the ISO (this is the single ISO file that actually works. No need to combine files.) here.

If you want to run it in a virtual machine click here to to download a pre-built VM. Extract the folder and load the "Android.vmx" file using VMware Workstation or the free player. Android is a live CD so you will need to download the ISO first. If you don't have a copy of VMware you can download the free player from VMware's website.

After starting VMware mount the ISO using the
CD-ROM settings. Click "Connect to Disk Image (iso)..." and browse to the ISO file.
When the virtual machine boots you may need to press F2 to enter setup and set the CD-ROM as the first boot device. This can be tricky because the VM boots very quickly. As soon as the machine is powered on you will need to click in the VM window and press F2 immediately. Once this is set the OS should load.
