Post #325,953 by drook 5/10/10 3:55:27 PM Reply	First bits VirtualBox has a really nice site, with a step-by-step Ubuntu-fied install doc. I'm using the FUEL version instead of OSE. One of the pieces left out of the OSE is USB support. I'll be using an external mouse on this setup for image editing. -- Drew
Post #325,964 by drook 5/10/10 9:23:51 PM Reply	Not looking good Windows tries very hard to own the disk. Linux from a partition plays nice as a guest, but I can't get Windows to boot as a guest. Looks like I'll keep it as dual boot. When I need to process video, I'll boot to windows, then open Ubuntu in the VM to author DVDs and do other conversions. -- Drew
Post #325,965 by Another Scott 5/10/10 10:23:38 PM Reply	It might make sense to buy a copy of Winders. Have you seen this? http://www.virtualbo...i/Migrate_Windows Some tweaks may be needed to get Winders to migrate into a VM. But at this point it might make sense to punt. You can still get XPHome for $100 at Newegg, and it's on eBay too (of course). It should run fine in a VM. It might save you some time - something that none of us have too much of these days. :-) HTH. Cheers, Scott.

Unless you have a *pressing* reason for XP, keep 7. - (pwhysall) - (4) - May 7, 2010, 11:52:35 AM EDT

Just a sales pitch then? - (drook) - (3) - May 7, 2010, 12:46:01 PM EDT

VMWare or Virtualbox? - (drook) - (14) - May 8, 2010, 04:32:36 PM EDT

VirtualBox supports Win7 clients. - (Another Scott) - May 8, 2010, 04:38:03 PM EDT

Looks like VMWare licensing/pricing has changed - (drook) - (11) - May 9, 2010, 11:37:07 AM EDT

question - (boxley) - (1) - May 10, 2010, 08:57:11 AM EDT

Not an option - (drook) - May 10, 2010, 11:01:47 AM EDT

Shown here is a tranquil scene in the north woods. A beaver has just completed its dam, two black bears forage for food, a swallow-tailed butterfly flutters in the foreground, a loon swims quietly by, and a kingfisher searches for a tasty fish.
