It's true that the OVA is just a tarred OVF, though I can't test to
see if it works because VMWare Fusion (what I have) doesn't apparently
support OVA or OVF files.

There's also another option, which is outlined in the "Semi-Automatic"
instructions on the web site -- basically, create a VM in the
virtualizer of your choice, install Ubuntu Server into it (I only
tried the 32-bit version, FWIW), and then kick off the installation
script which builds and configures everything. That's how the OVA file
was made, so it should yield the same thing.
