type="cite">This is a fascinating tutorial. I cannot wait to give this
a try using Ubuntu boot on my laptop or desktop at home. This will give
me a workaround to
running things like our reporting system on a Linux desktop without
needing to reboot the computer. A seamless desktop is the way to go.
Think of how Macintosh users have been able to use parallels to run
Windows applications seamlessly and you get the idea. :-)<br>

Last year I had fun teaching students how to use virtual machines to
give them exposure to installing and playing about with different
operating systems. Whilst we have been using VMWare to create virtual
servers for our enterprise setup, I'll switch to using VirtualBox.<br>
