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.
