Sun does have a version for a 64 bit kernel. I have not tried
64 bit because it does nothing I need.

If your using the Sun binary VirtualBox when you get
converted to 9.04 you will need to get another version from
the Sun web site. They do have a version for Jaunty there.

I have many partitions with various ubuntu versions in each.
I have one partition with my /home/ directory for all in it's
own partition. Then when a new version comes along I get it
working and d/l the usual stuff and then modify the /ect/fstab
file to bring it up when I boot that version of Ubuntu. Here
is my /etc/fstab:
# / was on /dev/sda8 during installation
UUID=05073e4b-bdcb-4a8f-8a63-35245eb5fb2a / ext4
errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=77cb374a-6349-427e-9b57-ea6776f4a52d none swap
sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660
user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto
rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/sda12 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
The /dev/sda12 is what gets me the /home loaded.
Have fun.
