Run Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope in VirtualBox

Thanks to Ryan over at moviefoxtrot for this walkthrough, "Installing Ubuntu 9.04 in Virtualbox 2.2.0". Everything worked fine and as advertised, running the most-excellent (and open-source) VirtualBox on Mac OS X Leopard 10.5. And since Ryan published his article last week, there's been a VirtualBox update to 2.2.2, so grab that too if you haven't already.

Performance is surprisingly good so far, though I haven't run it through anything too intensive. YMMV. So far I dig the 9.04 interface enhancements as well.
