Having a automated script to produce virtual machine images is a huge
step in the right direction.
Personally I think size (1.4 GB) could be optimized  but it was
pointed out in previous discussions that size is not a major concern
for mainstream development. On the other hand with virtual machines
resources of the host are split.
Maybe some ideas from the sage-lithe VM prototype (407 MB)
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/emil/sagelithe/vm-sage-lithe-a1.zip
could be utilized. In itself this version is not optimized yet (e.g.
full xorg and xvesa)
