Linux VM: Sucess

Hi guys,
In the end it turned out to be really simple, requiring almost no changes
to the Self build system or code.
After building a new snapshot from the CVS tree I now have a working
virtual machine and snapshot combination running on Ubuntu 7.04, 8.04 and
OpenSuse.
I also built a new MacOS X vm to run the new snapshot.
(The new vms and snapshot aren't backwards compatible - you can't run the
new snapshot on an old vm or open an old snapshot in the new vms without
errors. This is mostly GUI stuff - the change from Carbon to Quartz
primitives on the Mac side and changes to how X is called on the Linux
side)
So Self now runs on Linux.
Cheers,
Russell
