virtualbox only started to support 64-bit guest recently. My
experience is that it works but not very well. DSL uses a rather
outdated kernel 2.24 iirc. Arch Linux is meant for hackers, its
installation stops after setting up enough to allow to you login a tty
console. You have to manually set up various conf files yourself. I
guess that ubuntu said it needs a "x86_64" which means a 64-bit cpu
rather than "i686" (32-bit). So did you actually install a 64-bit
version of virtualbox on a 64-bit os running on a 64-bit cpu?

Might be Eric did not get a macbook with 64-bit os to play with, or
you might contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] as mentioned in the download
page.
