Just finished installing Xubutnu 6.06 Dapper Drake in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007., so I can have a linux Web Server.Xubuntu runs pretty well with 512mb ram out of my 1.5Gb and a 2.6Ghz Celeron.Took about 1.5hours to install and 2gb ish hard drive space.Pretty simple to do, download Dapper Drake ISO from the Xubuntu website and Virtual PC from Microsoft.Install virtual PC.Create a virual Pc, I recommend no less that 256mb ram allocated, create a virual hard drive ( about 5Gb, 2Gb minimum) click startCD at the top mount the dapper drake imagepress F4 i think it is and change it to 1024x768 16bitthen install with graphics safe mode. let it book into the live CDclick installenter the details and format the virtual Hd, dont worry it wont format the Xp drive like I though it might and let it install and have fun :).
