Thanks for the comments everyone. Ralph, I may give W7 a go, as I'm
finding the stores I shop at don't carry XP now. My plan is to install
linux first. Since I expect to flail some, I may try W7 as the base at
some point as well.

I don't know why, but using XP as the host seemed to work better for me.
I have some strange apps that used weird calls to the TCP/IP stack in
Windows and they just didn't play right in XP as a guest machine. Also
on an HP netbook, there's no direct support under Ubuntu for Verizon's
built-in CDMA modem and using Windows as a host solved my problems
getting on line.
This all being said, I'm now using Win7 Enterprise as a host and Ubuntu
as the guest and things are rather smooth. I might try setting up
another machine with Win7 as the guest and see if my DLL issues go away.

Mat,
I have this exact same setup running right now. It's relatively
painless. I've also used VirtualBox with Windows XP as the host O.S.,
and an Ubuntu VM.
