The resource or performance hit of a VM depends very much on what you are doing with it. It's not a given that it will necessarily be slower. A Linux VM can run in as little as 15 GB of disk space, and my Linux VM running Qgis is faster than one running Qgis on Windows 7, and the Windows 7 VM also has gobbled up about 80 GB of disk.

Natively installing Debian is another option. The differences between all these distros aren't that great.

Or you could wait until the Oracle support is in a stable release of Qgis.

Hi Patrick

I understand your point on VMs.
What I was trying to say was that, since a VM consumes a certain amount of
RAM/CPU for the OS, and since I already have a windows VM in my box, there's
no point in adding a second VM for QGIS - I can install it in my windows' VM
(and get Oracle support out of the box). I just hate the idea. Seriously.
