I work on a project called PreTest ( http://pretest.nongnu.org/ )
which provides pre-configured virtual machines for many 
operating-systems (all with same user/pw, 'sudo', and git/make/cc
installed - so you can boot it and start compiling immediately).

List of available VMs:
 http://pretest.nongnu.org/downloads/

Usage example:
 http://pretest.nongnu.org/command-line-qemu.html

And, when people post messages to 'address@hidden',
I try to run against all these VMs, with results automatically
collected here:

My long-term plan is to setup something like that myself
(time and resources permitting). I hope to get it working
towards the end of this year.
