Ubuntu under Windows: Use VirtualBox

I've been trying to install and setup Ubuntu 10.4 as a guest OS under Microsoft VPC 2007 on a Windows XP host, it's been a real hassle I have to say until I finally gave up and switched to Oracle VirtualBox instead. Everything went smooth afterwards on VirtualBox.

Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, Macintosh and OpenSolaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4 and 2.6), Solaris and OpenSolaris, and OpenBSD.
