Hi fellow Druaplers! Does anybody have a virtual pc image with LAMP + Drupal 5ish all set up and ready to go that they would be willing to share? :-)

Are you looking for a VirtualPC image for Mac OS X or Windows?

I know that JumpBox has a virtual machine that works in VMWare:

Thanks for your reply christefano. :-)
I was looking for a VirtualPC image for Windows to set up quick and easy local installations for development and testing. I use Windows but my host uses a version of LAMP which I couldn't reliably replicate with IIS.
I've managed to achieve what I wanted by installing EasyPHP (from http://www.easyphp.org/?lang=en) and installing Drupal as normal. It was fairly straight forward. Only needed the obvious initial configuration like passwords and hostnames, plus a few additional modifications to match my host; safe mode and mod rewrite etc.

I created VMs for Drupal 6 and Drupal 7. The Drupal 6 install has a number of themes and modules, where 7 only has some themes.
