Ubuntu and Linux & Open Source mentioned on BBC - this is getting big

[aYo Binitie]

Well I can tell you this for a fact my XP in VirtualBox (Dell Inspiron 1720)
runs performs faster than my XP running solo on an Acer 21" laptop. The
VirtualBox has I.5 Gigs of RAM assigned to its operations from the 3.5
available of my 4Gigs. The Acer has 2Gigs of RAM
