Why set up a virtual box when you have linux?
For security reasons.

It's summertime, and I thought I would have time to build a Sage
server for my 65 (or so) calculus students. I have a Ubuntu box
running 10.04 and using dynamic dns, I should be able to be able to
point my students to the site. Using virtual box, I assume not much
damage can be done to the host machine. Dan and Jason's
contributions

are a good place to start, but it have spent an entire afternoon
unsuccessfully get a VBox up and runner.
It appears that VBox has changed, I found this

blog on Vbox is be useful.
I am looking for more guidance. Perhaps someone could make a VBox
appliance Sageserver available in much the same way as is currently
used for local windoze machines.
We've switched back to using VMWare again. Probably the easiest would
be to get a generic virtualbox image, and install Sage into it
directly (either the binary or from source).
