Actually, today I am working on creating binary installs for Linux
x86_64, Linux_x86 & Windows  including the entire virtual environment.
It looks like it'll work out okay.  All the user will hae to do is
unpack the archive, 
execute source bin/activate
cd oship
python bootstrap.py
bin/buildout
bin/oship-ctl fg

(and equivalents on Windows) 

These packages will be pre-built including the DSE the x86_64 works but
needs a bit of tweaking so I assume the Linux_x86 will work the same.
I'll have to see if I can build Python 2.5.4 on Windows from source
though. If we use the pre-built Python you need Visual Studio to build
the DSE.

I think that this is easier than having people install virtualbox or
using bootable CDs.

I'll let you know later today.  If it works out okay can/will you create
one for Mac OSX?
