comment Deciding between virtual machine or dual-boot setup
@TenorB, Are you referring to one of the open source products of VMWare, or the commercial products (VMWare Workstation/Fusion)?

comment Deciding between virtual machine or dual-boot setup
thanks, yes I understand that there must be some overhead for virtual box. What I am asking is if I can get a large amount of physical RAM (for example 8GB or 16GB) and then allocate the max possible (4GB) to each 32bit machine when running concurrently. It sounds like from the other answer that the 32bit VM's are restricted to sharing the first 4GB of physical memory (my question might not have been clear). Is this the case?

Thanks! There seems to be some differences in the answers about whether or not one can have (for example) 8GB of physical RAM and simultaneously allocate 4GB each to two 32 bit VM's. What do you say about that?

Thanks! If I understand correctly, you're saying that if I have multiple 32bit VM's, they are restricted to using some fraction of the same 4GB of phsyical memory?

Thanks! It sounds like virtualBox or OpenBox might be the ticket for beefy hardware. Anybody know about Xen?

Try launching from the commandline in verbose mode and see what it says: junglediskdesktop -V -f

Did you check that libnotify.so.1 is symlinked to libnotify.so.4? ( askubuntu.com/questions/84182/jungledisk-3-16-doesnt-launch )

comment Wget can't download entire website
Yes, if you can find a specific web address that reproduces the problem, that would help people troubleshoot this. Also, you can use underthesite.com to find out if the website "really" is just html+css.
