The following 3.95GB ova file is ready to be imported into your own VirtualBox and gives you a Linda wallet out of the box in less than 5 minutes.

You'll notice that there's no wallet.dat file currently on the system so when you run Lindad for the first time a new wallet is created. You can use this ova as many times as you need to create new Linda wallet instances.
