I can't speak to the VPN part, but I run Win7 x64 in VirtualBox on my Ubuntu 12.10 machine at work. Strictly for Adobe CS stuff, so the host has 16GB RAM and roughly half of that dedicated to the VM. As long as you install the guest additions everything is just peachy.

I've finally gotten back to the issue of running Windows in a virtual machine under Linux.

I've got openSUSE 64-bit installed.

1. VM would be a Windows 7 install, I'm guessing 32 or 64 bit would be okay? (Lean toward 32 bit as I won't be devoting huge amounts of memory to it.)

2. The security folks want me to run Junos Pulse VPN client, which is only available for Windows. Has anyone had experience running a VPN in a virtual machine? Once logged in, can it secure communications from a Linux program / mount command?

Sorry, I know VM's are routine these days, but I've never had need of one till now. And at least #2 sounds like a rather specialized case.

Thanks!
