I too am enjoying VirtualBox as a way of setting up discrete development environments. I've got one for PHP, one for Rails, and a general Ubuntu box for anything else I want to try out (e.g. Clojure).
I documented my personal "get Ubuntu running via VirtualBox on XP" experience here: http://www.sharingatwork.com/2009/10/get-started-building-web-apps-with-your-own-ruby-on-rails-virtual-development-server/ http://www.sharingatwork.com/2009/10/get-started-building-we...

- dpritchett 17y agoThat's not a bad idea. Lau from bestinclass.dk has a screencast on getting Clojure going in a Ubuntu VM here: http://www.vimeo.com/8398020 http://www.vimeo.com/8398020
- WalterGR 17y agoI've been working (very slowly) on a VMWare VM tailored for Lisp hacking. I posted to http://www.lispforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=588 http://www.lispforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=588 to gauge demand. It didn't seem like there's much. I still plan on eventually "completing" it, but at the moment I'm sick of trying to get Emacs to behave in some small ways like other editors.
