After seeing some articles on Slashdot about it, I decided to check it out
for myself. I found the VMware image (1.2 GB) on the web and downloaded it
with Bittorrent. It was basically as simple as untarring the files and
opening it in VMware.

First thing I noticed is that it was really slow (I have a 1.8 GHz Pentuim
4, 512 MB), which is probably because VMware hasn't been tuned to run Mac
OS. Also Mac OS doesn't recognize the network "card" that VMware uses
internally. So after playing with it a little, I decided to wait until it
works a little better.
