Hi,<br>
<br>
Here's another vote for VirtualBox. Using it in both Windows host / Linux<br>
guest, Linux(64bit) / Linux(32bit) and Linux / Windows. Integration with<br>
host is excellent. Support is also quick & responsive.<br>
<br>
You might want to make sure your laptop has a healthy amount of RAM,<br>
regardless of the virtualization solution you choose.<br>

Subject: Virtualization recommendation<br>
<br>
I just bought a new Gateway laptop that comes with Windows Vista (and a free upgrade to Windows 7). I want to be able to run both Linux (Ubuntu is my preferred distribution) and Windows (Vista for now, Windows 7 in the future) using virtualization. I have not gotten into virtualization until now so I wanted recommendations about how to go about doing this. <br>

<br>
1. Host on Windows using VMWare (either VMware Player or Workstation)<br>
<br>
2. Host on Windows using Microsoft Virtual PC<br>
<br>
3. Host on Linux using VMWare, Xen etc but then I have to deal with installing Windows since the laptop comes with it but does not have separate installation disks<br>
<br>
<br>
Recommendations for or against any of the above or information about other options that I left out would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
