I'm thinking of installing ubuntu on my xo-1- any thoughts?

also the directions on their wiki assume you already have a linux computer running virtual box (wiki.laptop.org­/go­/Ubuntu­_Lucid­_on­_OLPC­_XO). I do have another linux computer, but it's another netbook and it doesn't have the harddrive space for virtualbox. Anyone have any ideas on how I can do the same thing on my mac computer running virtualbox?

VirtualBox is also available for Mac; OSX is Unix based so the commands shown for Ubuntu will likely be available from the terminal also (though may vary since it's a FreeBSD based OS). www.virtualbox.org­/wiki­/Downloads

Best way to find out is to give it a try, and report your findings.
