Hello Jody,

We are trying to login with same user "user" on gisvm but sometimes it 
works and sometime it does not work.
It will be good if "Andrea" can give a try to run the vm and check once. 
Here are the steps.

          Click here http://www.click2try.com to go to click2try.com

2.          Navigate to Web Development/Geospacial/Arramagong GISVM

3.          Click the "Try this Application" button

         Click the "Start My Application" button

       Once Vm is launched. Login into vm using user "user" and password 
as "user".
 
       Click "udig" icon on desktop.


Above steps will allow anyone to have single non persistence vm but if 
we want persistence vm then we have to create a registered user and then 
try this appliance.

Regards,
Arun Sharma
