[ubuntu-us-ut] New to the list

[Joseph Barney]

Thanks Andrew and Tristan. My macbook has 1 gig of  RAM so the OS and VM
would get 512 each. I plan on upgrading to at least 2GB one of these days,
but hopefully 4 GB. I'm only going to use VirtualBox for a client so far. I
need to run Windows on my laptop for school.
