I would like to try running XP inside of VirtualBox, but I am having
difficulty visualizing the process of building the system. Please set me
straight if I have this wrong.
1. Install latest Ubuntu desktop system (my favorite linux flavor).
2. Install VirtualBox (as part of step 1?).
3. Install XP.
Part of my motivation is to learn about using virtualization. The other
part is that I have to use XP only applications, and I am hoping that
virtualization will allow me to perform most of my administration using
linux (e.g. file systems and backup). In other words, I want a primary
linux systems with on demand access to XP apps, without having a
separate XP system. It will be fun to see if this works.
