I've created a VMware implementation sutiable for use with VMWare's Player.  
If you don't already have it, you can get it at: http://www.vmware.com.  The 
address for the torrent file is: 
http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-details.php?id=3245

Samba support is included in both the VMware and ISO implementations, but only 
at the command line level.  I was unable to find a decent gui client in the 
Debian unstable repository.  If someone has a suggestion about one, I'm all 
ears.

The files in this new torrent are compressed as tar.bz2.  So Windows users 
will need a tool like Winzip to uncompress them.

Please let me know what you think!
