Hi people!
I'm running K8 + Vbox + XP and can't determine what the operating and specifically security differences are in the 2 scenarios:

1. XP as master and K8 as a slave (Vbox - seems to be generally thought of as best/easiest ??)

2. K8 as master and XP as slave (Vbox)

I like option 2 but after months of haunting BB's still have no sound in the K8 as master scenario. Nothing has worked. It works in scenario 1.

Should I give up and live with having to run XP forever????

THEN- Is it really a problem especially security wise if I:

1. NEVER go out on the Net with the base XP
2. ALWAYS use K8/FireFox to go on the Net.
3. WHEN FORCED to use I.E. (due to Banks and odd Govt Sites DEMANDING I.E.) have a whole second copy of XP in a VBox.

ALL this dilemma is solely because I can't get sound if using Kubuntu as the master.
( Apparently it is as much a M/board specific problem as anything else. I as a non-tech cannot understand why the fabulous free Xara Xtreme runs beautifully, video runs beautifully and dumb ol' sound is dumb!
