My System currently runs Linux Mint 'Gloria' 7 (64bit). I also run Virtualbox and currently have the following virtual machines installed:

Linux Mint 'Helena' 8 RC1,
Puppy Linux (4.1.2),
Windows 2000,
Windows XP home
Windows XP Professional

This system is comfortably able to run all of the above systems at the same time!

I also have Flightgear Flight Simulator installed and configured to run on all three screens (120 degree view) but thats a subject for another post...

All in all, not a bad system! What do you think?
