Instructions in http://wiki.sagemath.org/SageAppliance are rather outdated and 
wrong.  

After trying to follow 7.2 Giving Others Access to the Sage Virtual Machine 
(http://www.sagemath.org/download-windows.html, sage-5.5.ova) I notice

- There is no user gui.

- ./sage -notebook ... isn't located in .bash_profile, but in .xinitrc

- .xinitrc doesn't contain "./sage -notebook interface=\'\' port=8000 
open_viewer=False require_login=False", but "./sage -notebook interface=\'\' 
port=8000 automatic_login=True"

An really ugly trap is .bash_profile containing the line 

   sudo shutdown -h now

having the consequence that any erroneous change to the "./sage" command above 
renders the VM useless, because it initates a shutdown before you can correct 
your mistake.
