I haven't tried it, but apparently you can upload files, so it would be a matter of pushing the vim source tarball there and build it. (edit: oops, you beat me to it) As for network, they say this: >Can I access to the network from the virtual machine ? > Yes it is possible. It uses the websocket VPN offered by Benjamin Burns (see his blog). The bandwidth is capped to 40 kB/s and at most two connections are allowed per public IP address. Please don't abuse the service. But I haven't been able to get it to work... Edit: the X11 VM has networking. Don't know how to get networking in the non-X11 VM
