Yes, great.

We could probably arrange to host it (both binaries and development
repositories, scripts etc) on xenbits if that would be useful. Even if
this is for some internal use (so you can't share it) we'd really
appreciate it if you could write a HOWTO on the wiki...

How do you use it? Are there some pre-canned guests on the ISO or does
it require an HDD in the machine for guest storage?
