Here is a Vmware image inspired from Jetos:
 	http://hinrg.cs.jhu.edu/~razvanm/vmware/Jetos-rc3.zip
Right now the zip file is 347M. Expanded is 2GB. The msp430 and avr tools 
are installed from the Stanford repository. nesc 1.3 beta6 is also from 
there. It contains 3 accounts:
- tinyos: uses the git repository
- tinyos-cvs: uses the official cvs repository
- tinyos-rc3: the RC3 for 2.1

For each account the tinyos tools are installed in the ~/local and the 
tinyos-2.x is in ~/local/src.

The image is optimized for ssh access so it doesn't have any window 
manager but the X libraries are installed so graphical stuff works with 
X11 forwarding. For using in Windows one solution I tried is putty + 
xming.

Any feedback is appreciated! :-)
