    Hey guys, I'm running Mint here, and I want to set up virtual management where Vista is the guest OS. Can anybody give me some overall insight to the process? I am planning on using Virtualbox.

    It's pretty easy....just install VB, then select new guest OS, and follow the prompts....you'll eventually be told to insert the Windows Disk for the install and it will go just like it always does ;) I have Vista dual booted, but use XP in VirtualBox.....which works flawless. Others can tell you how well Vista works.
