It's probably possible to have a much smaller version which would install
itself from the Web, downloading .deb packages - thus putting a bit more
load on Debian's servers and a bit less on OSM's :P

Another option could be qemu (http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/) which is
similar to VMWare but fully GPL. I don't know what performance hit it would
induce CPU-wise nor how complex it is to use as opposed to VMWare.
