If you&#39;re using windows as the host, then it seems that you lose out on a lot of the benefits of running gnu linux, namely that you aren&#39;t prone to viruses/malware/system corrupting itself. I run gnu linux as the host and windows in a virtualbox machine. If windows has a problem, it&#39;s easy to just start with a fresh virtualbox image.<br>
