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. </p> <p><b>update</b>: So later in the day I decided to experiment with the <i>desktop</i> 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 <b>works</b> 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 <a href="http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/310">here</a>. Boo. </p>nickghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04659163622120256748noreply@blogger.com0
