I think it's a great idea :)

I was muttering at Kake in the pub a few days ago about making a "Guide in a Box" available. By which I mean an image of a bootable disk/filesystem, with OS, web server, database and OpenGuides all pre-installed and configured. On first boot, it would ask for minimal configuration information - IP address, guide name, passwords. I can see this being useful for people who want to run a guide but are less technically minded - they'd be able to just use the filesystem in VMware/Parallels/Xen/whatever without having to know about what's going on underneath. It might also be useful for developers who could use it as the basis for installing a guide hacking environment on their machines without it interfering with anything else that they do.
Thoughts?
