On Windows, you'll need a program like WinRar (shareware) or 7-zip (open source freeware) to extract it.
This file is a trimmed down version of the VMware virtual image that I am using for development. It has *many* libraries already compiled and installed. It also has vncserver setup and an iLiad scratchbox area for testing apps.

How to use:
Download VMWare Player or Server:
http://www.vmware.com/download/player/Install player, and open virtual machine. It should start and run without problems. I reccmend you connect to the machine through putty on windows, since it is a better interface for console development.
To change between development and testing environments, type sb-menu at the prompt, and then choose select. You will want to select iliad-dev for compiling applications, and iliad-irex for testing.

Adam, what Linux distribution did you pick?
I used debian. I installed it with very minimal options. This let me keep the file size down, and lets users run with with minimal overhead. You can apt-get gnome or whatever window manager you want if you like, but I prefer it without. I've set this up by following Antartica's instructions in the wiki.
You probably could use rapidshare.com

You probably need a program like dropbear on the iLiad, to be able to run stuff remotely and to make screenshots, right?
And could you publish your version of AbiWord here as well? Please.
My browser just crashed with 10% remaining... I'm uploading it again. On the plus side, this time I used bzip compression, and it reduced the file size by almost 100MB.
I consider dropbear almost a necessity when testing programs on the iLiad. You will need it for making screenshots, and fro running programs without using the contentlister.
To be honest, I don't know what will happen when you try to run abiword on the iLiad in it's current state. It probably just won't run. With a program that big and complicated, it think it'd be best to wait until I do some testing and debugging before releasing any version.

OK, I'll wait
Your iLiad is in the mail??
Will you receive a developers unit?

Due to shipping issues, my iLiad is currently on it's way to their repair center now. It'll probably be another week and a half before I get it back. I most likely won't recieve a developer unit because I'm not a strong enough kernel/driver developer to be the head of that project.
Adam, if you want, I could host the file on my dreamhost account. PM me if you're interested.

That'd be cool. With a few mirrors plus perhaps Rapidshare&Co, we should be fine.
