I'm considering setting up Linux in a virtual box VM on a twin core laptop.
The aim of this would really be to see if we can finally make the transition to linux and dump XP. I should be able to allocate 50 to 80 gig of disk space, and the crucial thing is that I'll be able to run gimp, inkscape and scribus, and compile scribus. I know there is no right answer to this, but given the laptop, the VM and the applications, does any particular distribution seem likely to be particularly convenient or difficult ? I have had some quite good experiences of Debian / Kubuntu in the past, but happy to consider any options.
