VirtualBox

Hi Doug.  We've been taking a nifty Smalltalk/Squeak based web  
applications workshop at the complex.  It uses Seaside to augment  
Squeak to be an impressive webapp framework.

Part of the workshop was getting a server running on our laptops.  To  
do so, the teacher built an Ubuntu image complete with GemStone, a  
professional version of the Seaside environment.  He showed us how to  
setup VMWare Fusion to run this.

This made me remember your praise of VirtualBox.  I wondered if you  
know of folks using it successfully on Macs, and what their  
experiences might be.

On Doug's recommendation, I have been using VirtualBox on a MacBook Pro
for perhaps 6 months.  Just running standard vanilla applications, but
no problems.
