Not with the "perfect" configuration they want. But they have at least a 
running system to play around with (and show to the customer/boss :) ). 
It would really be great to have OGo running in less than 10 minutes. 
(And I think your VMware image is a good idea in that direction).

I think you are mixing here something as well. Configuration and 
Installation are two different things (imho). I think an installation 
should go very quickly, even for an enterprise application. But the 
configuration part can take several hours.

I still would love it if the installation would be as easy as adding a 
rpm repository and typing "yum install ogo" :) Anyway... We already 
talked about it several times. And there are already several good ideas 
floating around in this discussion group.
