[QUOTE="aje02, post: 1510784, member: 247907"] On the issue of using VM instead of dual boot, I used to do that. I have Virtual Box installed and I had multiple linux OSs as well as windows. However, one issue with VB is that it kind of lacks full hardware support. I mean, I tried installing my printer from windows on VB, I connected it to my USB port and selected it in the VB settings, however the installer didn't detect it. I had a similar issue once when I tried to connect a Galaxy s3 and use Odin to flash a ROM, same thing happened... Odin didn't detect the phone. Another issue I felt, when I installed Ubuntu on the VM, is that it was veryyy ultimately slow! I am not sure, maybe was because I installed the 64-bit version. In all cases, VB is a great virtual machine when it comes to using an OS in a sandboxed mode. It doesn't give you enough flexibility and integration. At least, that's what I felt while using it.
