To further elaborate here - we pretty much go with the default ubuntu
package configs -- with some minor modifications to main.cf.  But, I'm
thinking that it would be a good idea to post a sample main.cf and explain
the directives on the wiki.  If someone wants to work on this that would be
great!

So I'm thinking that this probably isn't 5.8 GB ;>. ?  The last image I made
was about 512MB.  I recommend .tgz the file and uploading it to a branch on
launchpad.  This way we can version control the dev image.

It would probably be good to get the image up on a torrent site and the
Virtualbox pre-configured image site -- maybe after testing.  Can anyone
help Kanika Vats with this?  She is going to need to start working on her
GSoC application very soon.

Kanika Vats you should be able to create a branch under systers-dev on
launchpad.

Let me know if you have an trouble (on list so others can learn too ;>)

This is great news!  Thank you very much for working on the image!
