Sounds exciting, packages like this are definitely useful for people who
want to "test-drive" OpenVAS, but don't want to build it themselves.

There has been some work on a VMware based virtual instance not to long
ago, but I don't know if this still active.

A slightly different approach is taken by the OpenVAS modules for
Backtrack, built by kost a few days ago.

Is OpenVAS already installed and configured (-mkcert, -adduser) on the
template?

Thanks for the kind words and thank you for your contribution!
