This post could have been placed in half a dozen different forums, so mod's can shift it where ever...
I'm running Ubuntu, and have a Windows 7 virtual machine (using Virtual Box) running underneath it. I wouldn't call the virtual machine fast, and I'm wondering whether it's up to running the software for the Vodem stick (the latest ones selling for less than $100 at DSE etc).
Has anyone tried this? I'm running a laptop with a dual core AMD processor running at 1.8GHz.
