[TriLUG] VirtualBox?

[Michael Hrivnak]

I've been running XP inside VirtualBox on two different Ubuntu hosts with great 
success.  It performs as well as XP ever does, and it's a piece of cake to 
setup and administer.  I downloaded the latest release from VB, and both hosts 
have Intel Core 2 Duo processors that include hardware virtualization.  Each 
machine has 3GB of ram split equally between host and guest.

Installing the "guest additions" was a big help, in particular allowing 
dynamic resizing of the guest OS resolution via its window size.
