Do any of you guys know anything about setting up Virtual machines? I've managed to use Parallels to get Ubuntu working in Vista, but I can't get the Ubuntu VM to access the internet, except intermittently.
Any ideas?

Re: Running Ubuntu Linux in Vista using Parallels
OK, it looks like I solved it myself - with some help from elsewhere.
I tried VMWare and that didn't do the networking properly either, so I asked for help on the Ubuntu forums. A guy on there recommended using VirtualBox, which is free, open source virtualisation software optimised for running Linux OSs. I downloaded it and installed it, and networking worked in Ubuntu straight out of the box!
