I would have preferred to have the CFML mounted *from* the guest using a share from the host, as you did. However, I couldn't make Apache 2.2 for Windows happy when setting a document root or alias to a UNC or mapped drive. I assume you didn't have any trouble mounting a VirtualBox shared folder and pointing Apache to it. The workaround I settled on was to shared a path from the guest and mount it on the host, from which I use Eclipse, Subversion, and whathaveyou. I assumed that VirtualBox shared folders were just local SMB. I'll have to look into that further.

I'll take a look tonight. I got a shared drive to work with a slightly different command then on your wiki. I tried DSL but didn't get very far. I wanted it light weight and with a gui so I followed http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-to-setup-lighter-faster-minimal.html I am not sure if JeOS will with CF9 but my guess is yes.

I may give that a shot - but I wonder if it will work with CF9? I may also tinker with one of the really lightweight distros like DamnSmallLinux... JeOS looks very cool!

Something else, have you looked into using Ubuntu JeOS. It is what I am using to build a railo, apache, resin vm. Pretty light and specifically for vms.
