Any Unix/Linux OS users?

I used Linux + Renoise to produce my album, however I've never used it for anything live. Mixxx seems limited (though it is rapidly growing). I would seriously advice against emulation.

You cannot use Damn Small Linux (DSL) as the host. Virtualbox requires a host with 2.6.xx kernel. DSL has a 2.4.xx kernel.

just use dsl not exactly the same but with 2.6 kernel oh btw Virtual box isnt the only virtual machine in existance

I would seriously recommend you dual boot with Windows if you want to use Windows.

[LEFT]I have not actually run anything like traktor in a virtual OS however latency should not be an issue if…blah blah blah

Yeah…no. Some virtualization platforms can get great performance out of some pieces of software, but we're not talking about traktor, and we're not talking about something running on top of a normal Ubuntu install. If the system can run Ubuntu, it can run Windows…he'd reinstall if he could.

Hey it would save alot of hassle just getting a old comp with a gig of ram and xp can pick one up for about $70 you allready must have a keyboard monitor and mouse so that would be the best solutuion. Even if you did get it running on linux using wine or an virtual xp machine you would be pushing it. DJ'ing is not a cheap hobby. At least my other hobby is cheap (that is programming
