As of Late, the Haiku project has been making some major steps forward, most notably the ability to 'self host', one of the most important milestones for the upcoming alpha release. In addition to development progress, Haiku is also making a name or itself in the Free software world in general, by attending conferences, for instance. Last weekend, Haiku was present at the LugRadio Live USA 2008 event, held in San Fransisco.

For me, on my internet connection using *buntu, it takes maybe an hour to setup a Haiku build environment that is capable of creating an image - then you can create the first track for the CD (an ISO with a compressed boot floppy/El Torito) with a separate jam rule that was added to the build system in the recent months.
I looked into it and decided it was way too time consuming to waste a day on at that point.
/me turns in his geek card
Still, with you saying it only took about an hour, I might give it a try after all!
I didn't feel like having to register for yet another site. Incidentally this is also the reason I haven't bothered to get a Ubuntu Launchpad account. I dunno may be it wouldn't have required me to login or create an account, but I just didn't feel like dealing with it after I'd gone through the hassle of installing and uninstalling both VMWare Server and VirtualBox.
Thanks for the note, obviously I should have searched harder.
Still I think my base point remains valid--there are a lot of people who'd love to see what progress has been made with Haiku and they'd rather do it via live disc than any other way.
