Sorry to get off thread.

I setup a "Dapper Drake" server VM a while back after hearing all the hype.
I don't like it (probably because I'm so accustomed to FreeBSD). The
sudoers irritated me at first but I got over it. When I moved the VM
around, my network interface disappeared. Turns out there is a file called
/etc/iftab that keeps track of your MAC addresses, when it see's it change
it silently disables your interface.

I haven't tried the desktop distro of Ubuntu but I may.
