Hey Guys,

I am a software developer that wishes to use OpenStack Swift Object Storage for an application we're building. I'd like to get started on a Swift only install, development VM. Every tutorial I've followed to try and get Swift running has always either been riddled with errors or has steps were, unless you are a Linux techie, you wouldn't know how to continue. We have very little experience with Linux other than the basics, like installing MySQL, SSH, that sort of stuff.

Does anyone know of any preconfigured Swift VMs that I can download and import into VMware or HyperV?

I want to stress, this is a development environment, once done this application will be running in the cloud.
