Cool!

I am a little confused about it both being a virtual image running on QEMU and requiring a very specific Ubuntu version as the base OS.

Shouldn't anything that can run QEMU work?

I used to do software development back on 386 with the OS on a floppy disk and really loved it. In fact, I ported my Objective-C compiler and runtime to QNX back then. Would love to play around with it on my Mac.

Thanks!
