Highly recommended.
Ok, gave it a try. The install worked. So, I set up a virtual box per
instructions, and tried to boot my netbsd CD in it. (netbsd because it's
small so I can get a quick test.) I get this message (copied from the
internet as it's the same someone else got):

VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was
either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason.
Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g.
virtualbox-ose-modules-generic..

There is a conflict in kernels in the latest Ubuntu Intrepid kernel
update. Try to rebuild the vbox kernel:
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

So, I "try" it:
====================================================
~> sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
* Usage: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv {start|stop|restart|status}
~> sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv status
* VirtualBox kernel module is not loaded.
~> sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start
* Starting VirtualBox kernel module vboxdrv
* No suitable module for running kernel found.

Oh well.
