Would running several Linux VM's on a windows host be acceptable?

T-3 weeks! 

How well you prepare determines how fun Linux Camp will be, and how likely you are to pass the LPIC-1 exams on-site. 

Everyone is registered as a BYOB (bringing your own box). Here are my recommendations: 

    1. Take a backup! You'll be moving very fast and might break something during camp. It would be a shame to lose the pictures or the thesis because you pointed a destructive command at the wrong file-system. 
    2. Processor: At least 2 cores. More is better. 
    3. Memory: At least 2 GB. More is better. 
    4. Storage: At least 24 GB available. More is better. 
    5. Get familiar with VirtualBox. We'll be using it, because it's free as in beer and Free as in Liberty/Libre/Freedom.

This is a good time for a r3VOLution.
