Installed Ubuntu via VirtualBox
I was curious. It looks very nice, buuuuut ... it's ultra newbie-friendly. And WEIRD! (No rc.conf?!) VirtualBox works wonderful for this, I'm really amazed at what innotek was able to pull off. It runs flawlessly, and the VirtualBox extensions installed absolutely flawlessly too. It's totally painless. And setting up machines with it is really easy too.
So I'm going to play with it a bit. I think I'm going to venture into all sorts of operating systems, like BSD, flavors of Linux, and perhaps even OSX (yeah, that's right, don't give me that look!). Pretty fun.
I also installed Windows 95. Oh my god it SUCKS. But I can do a cartwheel and it'll almost be loaded already.

Re: Installed Ubuntu via VirtualBox
The rc.conf difference is in the spirit of BSD-style init scripts (keep everything in one file), whereas Ubuntu uses SystemV style init script (use folder-organized symlinks). BSD-style is, IMO, cleaner and nicer, but everyone has their own opinion.
