My idea was to provide it as a little playgound (along with other
not-so-well-known OS'es, eg. Plan9), just to have some fun
(these installations will run charge-free on spare resources),
hoping that this gets a bit more audience and helping hands to ros.

Anyways, having lguest support, would be a good thing: ros could
reuse many resources of the host system (eg. networking, and a lot
of devices supported by linux). Maybe some day that could fill the
gap between native Windows and wine :)
