Not as a VM but as the base install. Maybe there is an ubuntu app to create a DVD install iso of the system or just do a backup of a QS install and then restore it to the hard drive directly?
Just wondering if you have any advice. Rather not spend all my time matching my ubuntu install to be like QS.
Thanks!

The instructions for creating a virtual machine are basically all you need. I have setup a real machine (Ubuntu 10.10) with these settings and it works awesome. Everyone at my office now can develop in-house.

Hi, yes, that's basically it. Look through the scripts for things you don't want to do.

I'd recommend using the virtual machines for awhile (I use them on my Linux desktop and laptop) for a variety of reasons. Separation of projects and IP. Ability to transfer the whole setup to another user (aka bug or bringing someone onto a project). Screen sharing through remote desktop (without sharing your actual computer), etc.

Quickstart as a project is for virtual machines. It's not in the vision to make a desktop only version.

Okay I am going to try a few options like dd and other methods to do this.
I understand the benefits of VMs and thank you all for your comments. Just nothing beats working on the "bare metal" of the machine.
Thanks again Michael Cole for all the work you did on this!
