So tonight I decided to give Sun's Virtual Box (free) a try. Installed it on my Vista machine and then proceeded to install Ubuntu 8.10 as the first Guest OS. Screenshot on the left. So now I am having some buyers remorse for spending money on VMWare Workstation. Don't get me wrong, I love VMWare but the Virtual Box experience has been pretty good so far. I am sure I'll find some feature that is missing from Virtual Box that is not in VMWare Workstation. I guess I will find out in due time.
My plans are to setup a pre-configured Java Development Environment that I can give out to my students at UCSD Extension. I'll blog again once I get everything setup.

Are you going to hand out the images using VirtualBox or VMware? VMware Player is free still right?
I like the direction that you're going with this. Maybe have eclipse set up with a several programming examples... It might make a student's like far too easy though.
The skill of configuration is going to be lost on these poor saps!
