I'm currently running eCs v2.0 as a guest in vbox 4.0.8 with host Linux Mint 11 on
ASUS P8Q67-M DO / i7-2600k / Intel IGP-HD3000. Using gengrad and vbox extensions.
Overall experience is good: startup from snapshot image is about 2secs, EVFS shares host drives nicely, bundled Firefox v3.5.3 works fine (having some difficulties running v3.6.x), fullscreen mode is good, benchmarks of virtualized CPU run 2x-3x over previous baremetal AMD64 3200 and virtualized graphics run 2x-10x over previous baremetal ATI X300.
By the way, Mint 11 is slick itself, based on Ubuntu 11.04 with the new/unstable Unity interface removed and media codecs added in.
