i am running xp pro sp2 at the moment and want to try linux without getting in over my head. i thought that virtual box would help my ease into linux. i downloaded the install from sun or w/e. first the 64 bit for some reason and it didnt work obviously. i went back and downloaded the 32 bit version. i run the install and near the end it says that it hasnt passed windows logo test or something of that nature. if i continue with the install and ignore the warning, it says that probs with xp may occur. therefore, i canceled the install.

am i doing something wrong or is there another vm i can use that would help me ease into linux?
