Hey David, I use emc2 inside virtualbox myself for compiling emc2 and building deb packages inside the guest os for myself with the tweaks I need.
That way I can do this on my work laptop in a stable environment even if I have other versions of Ubuntu (like 10.10 amd64) running as the host. Attempting to run any real cnc machine in any vm is asking for disaster, even if you'd manage to get communicatations with the real io to the cnc machine in the first place. However the simulation is practical for designing your own pyvcp panels in a silent office as opposed to a noisy machine shop. I haven't yet tried to run 10.04 with emc2 as a guest under virtualbox as Mark tried. So I cannot comment on that. It also depends on which architecture is used (x86, amd64). As I understand it, the 10.04 emc2 is not generally working in amd64 arch yet.
