    testing it out at the moment, and i'm loving it.

    none of this dual boot farting about business or anything - in fact its seriously making be debate moving over to linux and running my splitting out my server and workstation in my next PC.

    hell, i can have a host OS and spin off seperate virtual machines for entertainment, pr0n, various development platforms... hell, i can create, fuck-up, and delete a whole environment without screwing up the host OS - less re-installs to clean out the oodles of crap that invariably clog up my hard drive!

    seriously, if your machine can handle it (mines a creaky sempron 2800 with 2gig ram) then its well worth looking into.

    Oh you got it working. Well done. I can't really see the use in it for the likes of me though.

    Apart from software development what's the point of guest OSs?
