All the developers at work got massive box upgrades a few months ago: standard box is now a dual dual-core AMD 64-bit thing with 8Gb of RAM, 2x300Gb HDDs and Vista 64-bit. The .NET and Java developers in particular wanted all the extra RAM and extra cores for their compiles. But 'cause I develop in PHP, I put Ubuntu on it instead, and a helpdesk tech helped me put Vista into a virtual machine for Outlook.

I was a bit surprised the Ubuntu CD didn't offer any LVM option, so I installed it without, but realized later that it would have only been on the Alternate CD.
