Jason, Sorry for the delay in responding. They'll be needing help with the VM setup on *Sunday*, January 4th. They didn't have a pre-canned VM image, but Mike Kenzie built one that will fit on a cheap USB flash drive (~2.3GB zipped). They'd still need to install VirtualBox and run any updates, but that should be a lot faster than downloading N copies of the entire Ubuntu install package at the same time.
