That sounds really great! If you could get Pythia 8, ThePEG and Herwig++ 
on there, too, it would be a useful VM for MCnet as a whole, which could 
be used at schools, etc. I'm asking because I'll need to set a VM up for 
the Japan school in September, anyway, so I can give you a hand if needed.

Also, have you compared it to the VM that the MCplots guys are using for 
their distributed work? They may be interested, too, if the RAM and disk 
footprints are smaller.

See you,

   David
