是否可以在任何地方下载虚拟机​​，其中包含用于测试目的的带有Globus Toolkit和一些开发工具(Java)的Linux发行版的有效安装？网格的实际部署更为复杂，但是我只需要一些可移植的东西就可以进行开发。

虚拟数据工具包不是虚拟机映像，但是它是大量网格工具(包括Globus)的很好的发行版，非常易于安装。我一直在使用它，并喜欢它。

从他们的网站：

The Virtual Data Toolkit (VDT) is an
  ensemble of grid software that can be
  easily installed and configured. In
  our experience, installing grid
  software from scratch is challenging
  and time consuming. The goal of the
  VDT is to make it as easy as possible
  for users to deploy, maintain and use
  grid software. Ideally, you just type
  a single-command and you can
  immediately access grid resources or
  provide your resources to others. In
  reality, it is a bit more work than
  that, but not much.
  
  ...
  
  The VDT contains a wide variety of
  grid software as well as the software
  that it depends on. For example, the
  VDT includes common grid software like
  Condor-G ? and Globus ?, and VOMS, and
  much more. But it also provides
  supporting software like Apache,
  Tomcat, and MySQL. There are also many
  other software components that help
  run grid sites, like software to
  update CA certificate revocation lists
  (fetch-crl), software to assist with
  local authorization policies (GUMS)
  accounting software, and much more.
