[IAEP] FOSS VT Went Amazingly Well!

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Thanks Walter :-)

Jeremy, the two links to pass onto your Sun contacts are
   http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/VirtualBox
   http://wiki.laptop.org/go/VirtualBox

After giving this a tryout, they can then directly work with Walter and the
Wiki pages. If they get it working ... they could also publish and share the
working images here,
   http://virtualboximages.com

Regards Roland
