hi just encountered DAML but I’m very familiar with Corda and Fabric.  
Scanned quickly documentation. I was not able to determine the following:

1. Is it possible to setup a Test DLT locally
2. Is there a public test network available i.e. other than for example deploying on Corda’s test network

thanks

Yes, the SDK ships with the Sandbox, which is a simple in-memory implementation fully compliant with the DAML model. You can spin it up by running `daml sandbox` after you’ve installed the SDK.

I’m not aware of anything specific to Corda, but there is an on-cloud offering of a DAML ledger at [Project:DABL](https://projectdabl.com/). If I’m not mistaken there’s a free tier, so you should be able to use it to experiment.

Also you can try out [daml-on-fabric](https://github.com/digital-asset/daml-on-fabric) and [daml-on-sawtooth](https://github.com/blockchaintp/daml-on-sawtooth) both locally from their respective repositories and [in your web browser](https://daml.com/learn/deploying-daml/).
