Linux on a Virtual Machine

[spotify95]

Anyone had any experiences running Linux OS on a virtual machine?

I have, and it was quite slow

However, as a main O\S it is pretty quick!

[pinkteddyx64]

I couldn't even get it to run in a virtual machine.

Maybe, that might have been due to some of the settings or something?

I have Ubuntu 13.10 running just fine on a VM, though it is rather slow.

I would always get a meaningless message on a black background and it freezing or just a totally black screen.

In which case, something with the installation probably messed up.

You didn't run sudo rm -rf /, did you? (That command deleted everything, which will give you a blank screen)

No, I didn't, in fact, I couldn't even type anything when I tried, the system had frozen up as well.

I've not tried on either, but I've considered it. Not sure how to go about it though.

Believe me, it's much simpler than you think!

Probably, rooting my phone and installing custom android builds was fairly simple.

I rely on my phone too much, and I bet my luck that if I tried installing anything custom like what you said, my phone would be bricked, and my daily routine would be like treacle!

Ahh, mine was fine. However, after my camping trip it got a bit wet and broke so I'm now using a brick, that slides.

My last phone, it's screen got shattered after it accidentally fell out of the window.

Oh dear, I'm going to get one in a month or two when I'm at uni and have money.

On contract, or the full price up front for the phone?

Not sure, I really want either the nexus 5 or it's replacement, but it depends on what deals I can get as my current sim only is really good.

Wouldn't you ever consider 4G?

Nexus 5 is 4g and as I'm on 3, I get 4G for no extra cost, if I had a 4G phone now, I could use it.

Who are you with for your 4G?

Three, was on them before they had 4G, but they'll do it for no extra cost which is good. They give me a better deal now than I can see on their website which is why I'm tempted to stick with it.

That sounds fantastic!

I can't wait for the operators in this country to discontinue 2G so that that only 3G and 4G are available. (It's what happened in Japan).

It is, unlimited internet and I can wifi hotspot and tether, when I was at school I used about 10GB a month on my phone.

Yeah, is a good idea, three never had 2G though, so they are only 3G and 4G so, even on 3G I could get internet fast enough to stream films on my laptop.

I once went over my limit by 2.7 GB!

I don't have one which is nice, one used over 20GB in a month (was having problems trying to watch game of thrones) and they were fine with it.
But that sounds expensive.

Well, I no longer have a limit on mine either.

That's good, limits are horrible, I once had a 500MB data limit, which was really hard to stick to and I know, if I had my proper phone back (which was what I had at the time, did 2 years with that), I would never manage it.
