That said, it's a fantastic way to learn system administration, and it's the first time I really cared about an operating system (beyond the kernel as I do the Linux kernel).

Although it should technically be possible to use LabView, it's not possible out-of-the-box. Listen to Greg Mckaskle, this is kind of his area.

Has anyone had any experience installing LabVIEW on a virtual machine?

[Greg McKaskle]

I almost always use it with a virtual machine. I have occasionally had issues with the imaging tool-- can't control all of the NICs, but everything else is fine. I did have an odd performance issue with an SQLLite based portion of LV.

Virtual Machines are the only way I can program for FRC. I can't install on my machine because I have to keep that LabVIEW in a specific configuration for work. I have used VMWare and VirtualBox. VBBox is free but VMWare handles USB devices better. (especially involving sleep and hibernation) Both were fast and responsive.
