Did a quick search on the website and in the archive for virtualbox, but
didn't see anything.

Here we have set up a virtual machine (VM) using VirtualBox (free) to set
up the blessed environment for programming the ROACH.  We have been using
it for just under a year to program our ROACH board.  We have just
transferred this VM from our iMac to an HP Z1 running RedHat 6.  The Mac
address of the VM was even preserved (although you may be able to set this
manually so its not an issue anyway), so our matlab and xilinx licenses
worked right away.

I'd be happy to write something up for the wiki if that would be helpful to
the community.  With VirtualBox's "export" and "import" features, the
transition was pretty painless, but would be happy to write about the other
nice features of using VirtualBox for ROACH development for anyone that
hasn't played with this technology.
