Just remember that installing an operating system in a virtual machine
to test it on a machine, is not the same as installing it directly on a
machine.  In a virtual machine the hardware is a "simulated machine"
which is different from the actual machine.  So if it works on a virtual
machine it doesn't actually mean it will work if you install it
directly.
