I asked on SQL Server Central (4/19/2016)
 * Has anyone set up 2 virtual machines on their desktop, one for browsing and email and one for everything else?

I use an Ubuntu VM for general browsing. With no shared folders
 * Someone answered:

Is there a good guide to getting started somewhere?
 * I asked:

Simple:


 * 1) install Virtual Box, Virtual Box can read Hyper-V, VMware and its own Virtual Box images. For non-production use, it a great way to get started with VM's
 * 2) download a pre-built Ubuntu image
 * https://virtualboxes.org/images/ubuntu/

If your VM engine is Virtual Box, make it easy, and choose the most current that has Guest Additions installed. Looks like that would be v. 13.04
