The project is great, but I just gave it a try and failed ( and I'm used to working with VMware).
The disk gave inconsistency errors and nothing was running. Maybe I should download again but I was too lazy.

Did you try it with VMware 4.5.2 ? The debian kernel seems to be 2.2. VMware offers kernel 2.4 and 2.6 only, so I have chosen "other". Maybe you could update the installation instructions. These are extremely important for newbies. It should even explain how to go from .tgz to .vmdk

Aldert, what exactly do you mean when you say, "The debian kernel seems to be 2.2"?

Are you actually running a Linux 2.2.x kernel on a Debian box? That's verging on crazy, as 2.2.x is ancient. Debian 3.0 Stable, now very old, shipped with kernel 2.4.18. I believe it also included a 2.2.x kernel, but I'm not aware of any reason to ever use that.

The current Debian Unstable and Testing have both 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels.
