Just to add my two cents to this: I think having a virtual appliance 
available would be a good thing. I've helped guide several class 
projects that use LLVM here at Illinois, and often I've had students 
install a Linux appliance and then install LLVM on it to do their work 
(since many students run Windows on their laptops). Having a pre-made 
VMWare appliance with LLVM would help such students get to the meat of 
their project faster.

I think my only concern would be bandwidth. How big is this virtual 
appliance, and could making it available greatly increase the network 
traffic to llvm.org?
