Welcome to Linux. While running in a VM is a good way to check a distro out for the first time, I really encourage installing it to a drive. You really can't get a good feel of the performance in a VM as it is constrained.
Thanks. I had to set up a VM and load an OS of choice as part of an OS class. I fully intend to dual boot when I have some spare time to play with various distros in the VM. I do have to keep a windows partition on at least one box for games though.
