You know, VMware just released the VMware Player Beta for free (as in
beer).  The player lets anyone use a preconfigured VMware or even MS
Virtual PC virtual machine and it runs on Windows or Linux.

The player will not let you create your own VM; however, maybe Manuel or
one of the other contributors has a full copy of VMware or Virtual PC
and would be willing to set up a dev environment on a VM and make the VM
available for download.

This would make a nice, easy, preconfigured dev environment for anyone
to just download and start using.  You'd still have to learn a bit of
BSD (which in my opinion was much easier than picking up linux), but
hey, software can't do everything for us...yet!

Just a thought.
