I have it in Virtual Box. Fresh install of Karmic 6 was OK, but after the update (during which some package failed to download) and restart, the restart failed until fsck was run. The problem being something like I have seen reported with something future dated. After that if boots and runs OK but always fails to shut down - having captured the mouse pointer - so I have to go into a console and shut down. So I will be very wary of upgrading to Karmic unless the Beta behaves itself.
