Seems like with VMWare, there is often a gotcha, so I have tried Virtualbox. I have been using VirtualBox on Ubuntu 8.04 and it works well. Ubuntu has had a couple updates on the kernel and I just use module assistant to update things. I did notice a slight hiccup with the deb packaged modules for Virtualbox on Ubuntu, but the open source will also make the vbox module. I also have my networking on a bridge and I am using dnsmasq to provide a private network to my VMs. My VMs operate in a private subnet. I can copy and paste from w2k. I runs fast too. I have a system with the vmx instruction set(Intel-VT) and I just ran primes in a Debian VM and its time was faster than the host.
