[Xastir] New Xastir virtual machine with Xubuntu 8.04 available.

[Tom Russo]

Thanks to the enthusiasm of Lee Bengston, there is a new pre-built Xastir
virtual machine running the latest version of Xubuntu (Ubuntu with the 
lightweight Xfce desktop) available.

Lee was motivated to create the machine and sent it to me for testing, and 
I updated it with the very latest VMware tools available in VMware Workstation.
This means that as of this new virtual machine, it is no longer necessary to 
do strange things to get the desktop resized to match your window --- the 
newest VMware tools "autofit" the desktop to whatever window you have as soon 
as you log in to the VM.  Thereafter, it will autofit again if you resize the 
window.  This takes at least a little hassle out of using it.

Thanks once again to Jason Winningham and John Ronan, this VM zipfile is
available for download from a site on either side of the Atlantic.

Please visit <http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo:VMware> for
download locations and instructions on how to use the virtual machine.
