Simple question here - I would like to do something development work in Ruby, which seems to work way better on Ubuntu. I'm currently running windows 8. Is there any reason I shouldn't install Unbuntu on a virtual machine? I've looked at creating a dual boot, but it seems like an absolute nightmare...
Thanks - KC
I would definitely use a VM for multiple reasons. For one it is far easier and much less risky, plus you are still running your Host while you have your Linux development environment open. Also, you can create clones and backups far easier.
You also have far more options in terms of setting up Virtual HDD's and network shares.
Dual booting used to be the way to go if you needed both environments, using a pendrive was also an option, but once you go to a Virtual Env you will likely stay on it.
