Oh, right, VMware is the one my husband uses. I'll check out Ubuntu Forums...

Well there is other virtualization software you could use such as VMWare and Xen.

It may be worth checking out the Ubuntu forums as I think they have a category specificly on virtulization and the guys there will be able to be more specific than I can.

Well, too late, I went for virtualization. Ubuntu now installed and happy

Is virtual box the best way to do this or are there other options?

Hi Megan,

Most people seem to prefer virtualization, probably because of the incentive that they don't need to reboot.

You should checkout virtual box http://www.virtualbox.org/
