I was under the impression that the only viable option for that
purpose was Virtualbox, but it's license is pretty dubious (GPLv2 +
some useful parts proprietary). Oracle has a history of bad
behaviour with regard to licenses, so I would not put all of our
eggs in this basket.<br>
<br>
Still, with 3 months time, a student should be able to pull off
making it as friendly as possible, but it would have to be
repeatable, like you say, "almost automatic".<br>
<br>
It would be even better if it was "fully automatic" that way we
could have regular builds.<br>
