Just noticed Virtual Box released version 1.6.2. I tried installed Ubuntu 8.0.4 Server both 32 and 64-bit versions on my Mac OS 10.5.4 box. Depending on the Ubuntu flavor, it still either doesn't install or doesn't boot after being installed. Just saying.
update: So later in the day I decided to experiment with the desktop version of ubuntu. The 64-bit version does not work, as the VirtualBox CPU detector is confused, but, the Ubuntu 8.0.4 Desktop 32-bit version works it installs, and boots into the desktop. Only NAT networking is implemented which means "outbound" networking is fine: web browsing, apt-get updates, etc. But you cannot ssh or copy files (directly anyways) into the virtual machine (you need bridged networking for this). The bug report is here. Boo.
