FWIW, SourceForge has nothing to do with VirtualBox or Ubuntu. Ubuntu runs fine as a VM.

I have run an Ubuntu VM as a guest before, just download the .iso installer from http://www.ubuntu.com/download, and insert it in the guest's virtual cd drive. It should work fine.

Well there you go. There is a difference however, one has premade guests, the other is do it yourself.
