Dell Vostro 220 with Vista Home Basic preinstalled. (Recovery DVD only.) Sun VirtualBox (VBox), currently running Windows 2000 as Virtual Machine OS.

Can I also install Ubuntu 9.04 via Sun VBox? I think I can.

Any tips & Tricks or Gotchas?

Many thanks. :p

I think that you just have to create new virtual machine and in it install Ubuntu.

You'd be better off using WUBI, you don't have the overhead of Vista and VirtualBox that way and you can just uninstall it (if you decide to for some ungodly reason) using programs and settings in your control panel.

But if you want the overhead, yes you can put it in VB.
