My experience testing VirtualBox was quite different. Installed on a Dell D820 Core 2 Duo running 64-bit Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), VirtualBox didn't do very well running a stripped-down version of Windows XP...the window positioning, input capture (mouse, keyboard), and full screen transitions were buggy. I abandoned VirtualBox for a 64-bit version of VMWare Workstation for Linux version 6.0.5 build-109488 which works smoothly. I like the VirtualBox concept though, particularly it's multi-platform nature...it would be *very* nice to have a hypervisor for Solaris x86. At some point if I ever have the time, I'll test the Solaris version. -Nick ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
