Art,
I'm always cautious so I downloaded Xubuntu-64-bit.iso to a storage 
device and installed it under vmware. Although it requires some tweaking 
(don't use easy install!) to get it installed, I have it running now and 
I'm pleased by the fact that it installs and runs so smoothly.
Until now I haven't found any problems. For example I just downloaded 
Keith Jarrett's Koln concert on youtube in Firefox and it ran 
immediately. Sound is perfect images run smoothly (even full screen). Of 
course my  processors (4-core AMD-Phenom-II) are working reasonably hard 
(75% max) but that is to be expected with 2 virtual hosts and about 20 
applications running among which wine with a real-time-data-acquisition 
windows program.
So until now I'm reasonably satisfied with it although it's still too 
early to update my (this) workstation, which is still running 10.04.
