FYI I have been working on a ova file generator for the release, I manage to
create ova images that do work on VirtualBox without problems, there are still
some problems with vmware for now, the goal is to have a standard vm ready image
(ova is standard) that would work on every system that do support it.

the image can be easily created from the release.
