Was going to do some dev so built this and wondered if anyone else would like to use it.
1) Download and install Virtual Box:
https://www.virtualbox.org/2) Download via torrent this:
http://www.rowit.co.uk/bitcoin-qt-dev.zip.torrent (please seed if you do as 1.5Gig!).
3) Unzip it.
4) Start the virtual machine that it contains.
Bitcoin is in:
~/bitcoin
Just cd to there and type:
git pull
to get latest version
Open QT (Green Icon on left of screen)
Click run in bottom left and bitcoin-qt will compile (3-10mins) then start up.
sudo password is bitcoin.
Below is screenshot:
I should spend a bit of time uninstalling stuff to make image smaller...
Or you can do it yourself by:
