So I actually got a chance to tinker a bit with Virtualbox now and I have to say that I really like it. I still have OpenSuse 10.3 in a machine and now I have Ubuntu 8.04 [Hardy Heron] Alpha 6 release loaded as well. As someone who likes to tinker and see what is new and different virtualization is a wonderful discovery (to the point where it is embarrassing that I have never tinkered with it before, oh ignorance!). It is quite beneficial to be able to mess around with an O/S or distro and still maintain a stable environment without having to update and configure everything. (This makes my wife very happy, although I doubt she knows this...) Hopefully I will have my XP CD soon so I can really get to what I had planned on tinkering with.
I'll probably be looking to upgrade my RAM, as I only have 1G right now. Not having to spend over $100 for XP since I already own it, I may put that money towards more memory. I would have more to give to the guest operating system.
