I have created a virtual machine with sage and a very minimal system. In my machine (a core i7 desktop) it boots in less than 10 seconds, and has a sage server running in around 20 from the pressing of the start button.
It can be downloaded from http://riemann.unizar.es/sagevm/Sage.ova I don't have any windows box available, so please test it and give me some feedback. Also, i didn't know how to avoid the mouse cursos capture. If someone knows how to disable it, please let me know. I used gentoo to set up a very minimal OS, compiled a kernel with only the needed options, compiled sage from source, and then removed the kernel sources and the portage tree to save disk space.
