I was unaware of that one. Installed it but couldn't find it in any
menus afterwards. Don't know which command to run. To much time required
for me to want to continue testing. Uninstalled. Will try again if
virtualbox fails me.

You should also install vmware player. It also allows you to run virtual
machines and might be more compatible with your computer. In my case vmware
is more efficient with the display update/refresh, sometimes with
virtualbox the images remain the same when the windows focus is toggled.

Thank you for asking this particular question, as it reminded me to
install virtualbox, which I've been planning for a while.
I need windows for one, maybe two, programs and as I never bother to
restart just to run them, virtualbox is the solution.
They say no questions are dumb, but it's also said that the fool may ask
more than ten wise men may answer. Take your pick...

Nobody has asked a dumb/weird question in quite a while, so I guess it is
up to me again.
As part of some research I am doing (either for the TED talk I will never
give or the book I will never publish, haven't decided which yet) I want
to
play around with some different distros, particularly desktops.
How much are Linux desktops integrated with their distros? Will I get the
full flavor of each desktop if I just install in whatever Linux I am
running (currently Ubuntu Studio 13.04 on this machine) or should I put in
the whole distro for each?
I have a largish (389 gig) windows partition on this machine that has
become essentially useless (all my data backed up elsewhere, I think,
please Goddess) so should I just go ahead and try various distros on this
machine and boot into whichever one I want to use/try at any given time?
I don't even know, for example, what my experience would be like if I put
Unity, for example, on this distro. What I do know is that everything
chosen for it seems to work well with it, and I have been reluctant to
mess
with it much.
Please don't panic – the book isn't about software; I am not that into
quicksand stomping! It is about education and various monetization methods
that might work for education building on an Open Source foundation. But I
want to encourage newbies and even Luddites to come and play in Linux, so
I
need to know what to suggest that won't leave them hating Linux and me
both.
Onward and Upward!
Pete
