Over the last day or so, I've been playing with VirtualBox - a type-2 desktop-oriented hypervizor; I managed to get my two favourite Linux flavours up and running pretty quickly now I'm contemplating mucking about with the networking so I can get the images talking over a virtual network.
Once I have that - I have a pretty decent developer sandbox - something I wish I had 7 or 8 years ago when I was still a developer. Still - should be a pretty useful setup for tinkering on home projects.
VirtualBox is pretty slick - so far - no issues - I just works - which is the way software should be. Once thing I'm still looking for is a way to run windows (small W) outside the visual sandbox; I find having a bunch of windows; running in windows a bit limiting and doesn't allow me to use my (multi)-screen real estate effectively.
Next (assuming I find the time) is to try VirtualBox on my MBP - I'm missing Ubuntu.
