Running Linux in Windows
I installed Virtual Box which seems great at first. With this you can run virtual computers on your computer and load operating systems in it. Plus it's easy to switch between OS's.
However, I found that running Ubuntu on the virtual computer ate CPU causing 100% CPU load at times, slowing things down. Now I decided to have Ubuntu on a USB stick so it can be booted from there if I need to use it. To do this, you download Ubuntu and burn it to CD to make a live CD. Boot from this and then use a built in admin tool to create the flash drive version of Ubuntu. In my case though, I had to fix the MBR on the flash drive using lilo before it would boot properly. The flash drive can be set up as a hard disk / boot device in the PC bios. Internet Marketing Software |

If u have virtual machine in Windows Os, then why should you try for ubuntu as a virtual Os. Just try as a optional Os.. |
