Hi Sage, I think this is a great idea.
However, I would recommend that two options to be available: 1) First options is a standalone package as you describe it 2) Second option is a prepackaged VM in OVA format people can just download and import using VirtualBox, Fusion or VMWarePlayer. I can take care of the second option and prepare an OVA for you using the base I already have.
