I think that if it is really that easy to build one for someone who 
knows what they are doing (I'm in a similar boat as Harry, I've tried a 
few times and couldn't get it to work), it would be great if there was a 
place for users who feel so inclined to donate VMs that are ready to 
go... I would love to get a basic Hardened install in a running VM that 
I could use as a starting point...

This would also make it really easy for new users to try out gentoo 
without having to go through all the pain of installing it...
