for tips about something much more useful IMHO than the JeOS iso image:
ubuntu-jeos-builder - a straightforward shell script using qemu-img and debootstrap to build VMs for
vmware, qemu, and kvm (so far).  It is not officially released so far, but it is pretty easy
to grab and run right out of the source tree.  Much faster and less complicated than going
thru the install process with an iso image.

  This is the Ubuntu VM builder script which automates the process of
  creating a ready to use VM based on Ubuntu. You can pass command
  line options to add extra packages, remove packages, choose which
  version of Ubuntu, which mirror etc. On recent hardware with plenty
  of RAM, tmpdir in /dev/shm, and a local mirror, you can bootstrap a
  vm in less than 50 seconds.

Oops - "always test our links"....  That should be:

e.g. the "trunk" branch, "browse code" option.
