  Unknown to a lot of people, VMware actually has a place (called “Virtual Appliances Marketplace”) where you can download pre-built and pre-configured VMs with many applications choices. (Mostly for free)

  Virtual Appliances are pre-built software solutions, comprised of one or more Virtual Machines that are packaged, updated, maintained and managed as a unit. Unlike a traditional hardware appliance, these software appliances let customers easily acquire, deploy and manage, pre-integrated solution stacks. This speeds up time to value and simplifies software development, distribution, and management.

  All these images will run in VMware products such as Player, Server, Workstation.
  You can access the marketplace @ https://www.vmware.com/appliances/

  In addition, here are some popular open source OS in VMware that you can download directly for FREE:
