I'll admit my ignorance on all things VB, but why not run Windows as the host OS and then run Linux in the VB?

You mean something like this: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows ? Trying to just use an existing partition/install is possible with VB, but you will encounter issues occasionally. The above is a much cleaner way to go. Also, if you have problems re-activating, it is usually very painless and automated - you call a toll free number, walk through the prompts, and get a new code to activate. I've done this many times and never not gotten reactivated, but everyone has to decide on the moral question regarding the licensing. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
