Do you think ubuntu ver 8.x would run well on virtual pc?

[brucefulton]

I no longer recommend Virtual PC for a linux virtual machine solution. VMWare and Virtualbox are much better alternatives with better native support for linux.

Do you think that the new version 8.X of ubuntu will work as nicely as 6.x on virtual PC?

You can install a virtual machine on other than your primary hard drive, so that's not the problem. I would suggest googling ubuntu "select and install hardware" and seeing if any of the suggestions help. You may need to post into one of the ubuntu or vmware forums to troubleshoot this.

Will the server version of Ubuntu allow me to do a SoftRaid setup?

[brucefulton]

That's outside the scope of my tutorials. Google ubuntu server raid and you'll find resources that will address how to do this.

[brucefulton]

It's not really necessary. For GUI-based machines like Windows XP or Vista, it provides some video and mouse improvements, but for server, you won't see much difference.

hey mate, when im using VMware it says in the bar below: You do not have VMware Tools installed.

could you please let me know if i need "VMware Tools" and where to find the install.

Thankyou very much.
