Virtual machines

[Kenneth Hawkins]

Hi

I use virtualbox on ubuntu for several production servers. I am very pleased 
with the stability and the ease of the management tool, but would like a better 
"headless" manager.

Also, all 5 house PC's are various Ubu's with XP guests for the rare time we 
need special software.

If you decide to use VBox, make sure you install DKMS first, otherwise you will 
have a bunch of extra work every time you upgrade the kernel (updates)

HTH
Ken

I have only used VirtualBox running XP.  I have no complain or negative feedback 

on it.
