Also, over the weekend I built a VirtualBox image of Sage (VirtualBox is a free piece of software similar to VMWare). Assuming it finished building (at the office), I'll be posting it soon. Just as mentioned above, I just downloaded VirtualBox, created an empty image, installed Ubuntu JeOS 8.04 on it, then installed Sage on it. I'm not sure of the relative benefits of VirtualBox versus VMWare, but it seems like VirtualBox is a more streamlined, lighter-weight application. It's also free (as in there is an open-source edition and also another edition that is more featured, but free for academic/personal use).
