[NBLUG/talk] Linux setup help

[Jordan Erickson]

I don't really agree with that, but definitely agree that using an SSD
for your OS partitions will increase the overall speed of your system
(VM or not).

IMHO virtualization bottlenecks would most likely come from your CPU not
having the VT instruction set available (or turned on in the BIOS)
and/or lack of memory to run them...though if it's a Win8 laptop, I
would *hope* they would have a whole lot of ram ;)

What you *should* do is have Linux as your host OS and virtualize
Windows 8......dot dot dot


Cheers,
Jordan
