Dang......... I went to that site and was impressed; yet I was not at
all inclined to try it out.

WHY?   .....Suddenly it dawns on me that my closed-minded attitude was
because of VM-prejudice ( :-) ) - I'm a Linux user and so am oriented
toward QEMU and VirtualBox (I presume that VMware is a favorite and best
choice for Windows users). I'd guess there are a number of us who
have never checked out JanusVM because we don't want to learn VMware
just to experiment with a single application.

A quick google came up with this:
<http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-convert-vmware-image-to-virtualbox-image.html>

JanusVM seems an important application; and I don't want to reinvent the
wheel putting TOR into a VM!    So I hope to play with conversion
sometime next week. But if you already know how to do this (convert),
how about putting a note on your web page telling VB and Qemu users how
to use JanusVM on their VM host of choice?
