I think it's pretty simple: (1) Install VB from <http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.0.4/VirtualBox-4.0.4-70112-Win.exe>. (2) Download a CD image of Ubuntu from <http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download>. (3) Fire up VB, say "new machine", and point it at the Ubuntu CD file. Let Ubuntu install. (4) In Ubuntu, say "sudo apt-get install yaz php5". Should get you at least part of the way there. Bill
