Re: LilyDevOS, a LilyDev container + full VM image

[Federico Bruni]

I've just realized that I forgot to publish the release, so there was 
nothing you could download.

In the meanwhile I've added also an image with a desktop environment, 
which works basically as the old LilyDev. The main difference is that 
there's no installation process. The image is ready to be launched. 
Read the main README on Github for instructions on how to use it.

I've tested it only on Linux host.
