With some guidance of Craig, i would try to run Spoon images on HydraVM.
The things i need to know:
- from where i can download latest Spoon image
- where i should put my dirty hands to prepare two Spoon images for
interacting via Hydra channels.

I'm really want to test-drive Spoon. Since last time i tried it, it
was not fascinating at all :)
I was able to run host image, but unable to connect it with child
image because of some bugs in windows version.
