When I was looking at getting a Mac, Mark S told me to divide the price by 3 because I'd have VMs running. At the time, I didn't think so. Fast forward a month or two. Now I have three machines on the Mac. Mark: You can say "told ya" now.
1) The Mac
2) Chrome OS VM
3) Ubuntu VM
I'm using Virtual Box and it seems fine. I've heard VM Ware is better. What feature do you like best that's not in Virtual Box?

I TOLD YOU SO, and yes I can yell it. Although this really is the story of my life. I say one thing and no one listens, till that one day when they come back to me and I get my I told you so.
Actually, it is so common place for me, that the I told you so has no special gratification for me. I actually get the gratification knowing ahead of time that there will be an I told you so, that I actually say "I Told you so" it the moment I am ignored. ;)
I used Virtual Box, but did find VMWare Fusion faster, and I also found features like having the VM apps running in separate windows looking like it is a native app a neat trick. (Not that I use that feature that much).
I also like the fact that for VMWare Fusion they already have "Appliances" Virtual Machines pre made that you can download.
Doing a little searching, I like this link for ChromeOS. It is built on the source code from the link Maneesh posted, but already built and in formats for Virtual Box, VMWare and USB Pen Drive.
Jeanne's your link is not Google's. Meaning a separate project, which might use some of Google's code, or is a complete port of Google's code to their project.

You're right (again.) That site actually wasn't what I installed. It was what I used as a reference. I did install from the "vanilla" site as evidenced by my blog post last month when I installed.

I guess that just shows that I missed that one blog post. I mean I have read each and every one, that I must have missed just that one. ;)

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
