I want to try and install Ubuntu 7.10 as a virtual machine on this computer. I just want to play with it, experiment and probably browse through internet with it also so I can customize it as well. I have Virtual PC 2007 from Microsoft and so far, it's bad. I can get to the first screen of Ubuntu and then it won't load at all.

Can any one help me out? Thanks,

-Matt.
 
I've had serious issues with 7.10 on MS Virtual PC - My best bet it trying it on VMware's free server (The server name doesn't mean it's only for servers - anything can be installed on it)... 7.04 I've had no issues with on MS' VPC. Guess it's the support for 3D accelerators in 7.10 that makes the difference..

So try VMwares server from www.vmware.com - They have a free version, just as MS does... (Except VMware rocks MS VPCs boat so hard :-)
