<div id="yiv1117078462">Tom, what is your intent here? That might help a lot to decide what type of virtualization you should be running.<div><br></div><div>If you're just trying out an OS, or want to run something occasionally, then VirtualBox or VMWare Player may be a good choice.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you want to host virtual machines that run all the time, I'd recommend running one of the servers like VMWare ESX.</div><div><br></div><div>-dc</div><div><br><div class="yiv1117078462gmail_quote">

I have it installed on an Ubuntu machine at work, and have had a lot of problems with it. The latest problem is in a VM. I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on a VM (so I could check it out before I installed it). I'm having problems with the mouse in the VM. The mouse is so bad, I have a very difficult time launching anything. The problem before this one, when I upgraded the root OS to the latest Ubuntu LTS, I had to find a patch to get VMWare to work at all. And every time there's a kernel update, I have to re-configure VMWare so it will run. It has been a bigger pain than I thought it would be.<br>
