Either VirtualBox, or amazon.

The only 'issue' with the VB image is that the quickest appliance I
could find that was nice and stripped down was a rather old version of
Ubuntu, it works and everything seems fine, but if people expect
things from repos, it'll be old.

The image Tavis got up and running for AWS is pretty awesome and up to
date, thanks to it being based on Gentoo, IIRC. It's got more love and
polish. It's up to whatever people are more comfortable with, and the
AWS costs are minor, and for new sign-ups, they can use a free account
-- lucky bastards.
