Cool, will play around with that on the weekend ;) Could the ubuntu VM run anywhere in the cloud or do you get latency issues with x11 forwarding over the net ?
I could also run the VM from the laptop and ssh -Y from the workstation or laptop locally to have a portable setup. But my Macbook Air is rather slow compared to the pc.
edit looks like latency is a major issue with X11 forwarding so i see why you do it this way...I guess for my purposes its easier to just use a complete Ubuntu VM to develop in and sync that between machines.
