Linux and VMWare?

[Ariel Gold]

If you'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'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's easy to just
start with a fresh virtualbox image.
