Stuart, I have to admit that installing Ubuntu on VirtualBox was a breeze. I can't get better than 800x600 resolution yet, but I think that's mainly because I've forgotten everything I ever knew about Linux. I'd installed Red Hat 5.x in '99 on a laptop that had Windows 95B already on it. And I installed Corel Linux on a Windows 2000 desktop while Corel was interested in Linux there for a while back in '00 or '01 or so. This is my 3rd time around with Linux. Just don't have a lot of time for it... So, you've installed XP or Vista on VirtualBox?
