to tell you the truth, i have a very limited knowledge base.  but to save you some time, i found these links to be very resourceful:

http://www.stgraber.org/2009/11/06/lxc-containers-or-extremely-fast-virt...

http://www.turnkeylinux.org/blog/convert-vm-iso

i haven't tried (gotcha #2) for the second link, but i believe this is my next step.  also, the turnkey appliance comes with 4 .vmdk files and a .ovl file whereas i only extracted the main file.  i might have to extract the other files onto the same filesystem mount.

also, i'm on a headless host until ubuntu can fix their bugs with plymouth.  the bootup splash-screen kills my agp video signal.  i'm using all 32-bit as i'm on one of the original athlons (no amd-v/kvm)
