Ubuntu eats up too much resources with its "Unity" desktop (it is very slow with 1.2 GB of RAM given to a VM. 2 GB is needed at least, but it's too much for a 32-bit host which OS/2 is). But you can use Xubuntu or Fluxbuntu instead, which have lightweight desktops by default. With Ubuntu + LXDE desktop I was able to have an acceptable performance with 768 MB of RAM only. Also, I enabled hardware virtualization. (OS/2 VBox has support for AMD-V/VT-x, but on OS/4 kernel only for now. So, if you want to use hardware virtualization, you'll currently need to install the OS/4 kernel).

	27	PS: If someone needs hardware virtualization support on IBM kernels, please ask Arca Noae for financing the development. Otherwise, we have no motivation to do so. (OS/4 kernel has proper mechanisms for that. IBM kernel lacks the required functions. So, it requires more efforts, but currently we don't see any interest for HW virtualization support on their kernels from Arca Noae. Moreover, no interest in financing VBox at all currently. Sponsoring support from XEU/Mensys is almost ended too.).
