8.04 *IS* the only VM we've got going.  The "08 hardy vm's" that Tom is 
referring to are virtual machines with versions of Hardy that have not been
updated since mid-2008.  They also had versions of VMware tools that would
not build properly should a user download the old virtual machine and apply
system updates manually.  That version of VMware tools simply doesn't build
with the newer kernels.

The new VM is Hardy with all current updates applied and an updated VMware 
tools, and also with Xastir patched up to date.  

To date, nobody has bothered distributing an Xastir virtual machine with
Intrepid.
