I need to use Linux for a few days. Any free service on internet?

I was wondering if there is such service, either free or very cheap, where I can use a Linux machine for a few days to install and run 2 programs on it. Really all I need is to debug my ANSI C application with Valgrind debugger which only runs on Linux and I don't have access to it right now for various reasons.

So all I need is this:

  1. being able to compile/install valgrind and my prog with gcc
  2. run valgrind and my prog
  3. ftp/sftp, or any other method as long I can send or download the files on machine

I thought of doing it over sourceforge but my software is not anything useful to humanity, it is for a scientific research, doing some math calculations...

Maybe anyone of you know of such service? Or knows where I can use a Linux machine once in a while?

Please let me know thanks maxim

  • You can set up an Ubuntu micro instance for free on Amazon's infrastructure: http://aws.amazon.com/free/

    But really, I would rather recommend you installing Linux on your own, you can even do it on a USB memory stick (pendrive).
