That is interesting.  

Between the Ubuntu live CD that John Ronan's doing, the LSB build, the VMware 
virtual machines, and this, it should be possible to make getting xastir up 
and running really quick and easy.  Still, what I'm finding in preparing for
my presentation tomorrow (at which I intend to distribute localized xastir
virtual machines to interested parties) is that it still takes a fair amount
of documentation to explain how to run xastir, even after making it really
easy to install.  Still, I'll see in the coming weeks if I can win any hearts
and minds over to this software by spending time up front to make it easier 
to obtain.
