xVM VirtualBox on Ubuntu

The install of xVM VirtualBox on Ubuntu was as straight forward as it was on the Mac.

I was able to get XP and OpenSolaris installed as guest operating systems, but at this time I am having an issue with OpenSolaris appearing to hang upon startup. I'll keep working on that one and report back.

XP is up and running and the seamless mode works well, I think it is a keeper on Linux as well. I still need to test it on and XP host system, but so far xVM VirtualBox looking good.

My Ubuntu test was as follows:
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
HP DC5000 1GB of RAM
Guests
XP Professional sp2
OpenSolaris 2008.11
