Pretty much in my profile. Used to have a 32 bit laptop with Ubuntu Jaunty and 2 GB RAM, still have a 64 bit PC with 32 bit XP and Jaunty on it which will be upgraded to either Karmic, or if it's rather late to Lucid Lynx (10.04) 64 bit. No hardware virtualization options in it, as it's pretty old (4-5 years). 3 GB RAM. I recently got a 64 bit VT-x capable laptop that's running 64 bit Karmic.
I use an external hard drive of 320 GB, NTFS formatted that holds my VMs. The config is on the external drive, so I can use the same VMs on all systems.
