   BT, would you have a guess at the performance hit from VirtualBox?  For   
   example, if a native install of Haphazard Linux runs at 100% speed, how   
   fast (very roughly) would it run under VirtualBox (with 100% performance   
   cap)?  Any ideas if its performance cap is less than 100%?

   I recently bought a new machine with 8 GB RAM (max 16) to head off the   
   "secure boot" problem, should there be one.  My previous box (limited to   
   1 GB) is currently being used for native installs of various distros.   
      
   Update to Warren: Not all distro installers will find all the Linux   
   installs.  Some seem to (e.g. Fedora), others (e.g. Mandriva) don't and   
   many will need to be added to the GRUB menu with the distro tools and/or   
   manually.
