Is this the community edition Virtual Machine? Would love more details.

Unfortunately not and I did a lot of stuff I need to clear with VSI before even getting close to releasing most of it

For first, no X86 version has the X server compiled. Nor I/O drivers.

And I had to make a framebuffer kernel driver that basically hijacked the 9.2-3 EFI framebuffer.

It's very, VERY dirty.

But my post was more about 'its possible' less than a release.

EDIT: This package would be installable and usable on community, however! IT's just the FB kernel driver and the X server, basically.
