If you are familiar with linux and use it as your main desktop computer, go for this same option and don't use a VM.

I guess I would qualify, I'm a debian user myself. But my fastest box is still only 32 bits and VirtualBox is efficient enough that I don't think I lose much by using it. Yes it is painful to have to shuffle files through so many real and virtual machines but in the end that's a detail, I can write scripts to hide all that stuff. And being 100% certain that nothing I do is going to mess with my main computer probably makes up for that disadvantage.
The real question for me is how to get a working development environment. I'm a bit of a newbie in this department and would really like something that 'just works'. So far building kernels hasn't been a problem. But how to get a working emulator without the stuff in debian.o-hand.com? I guess I can just try and get back to this thread when I get stuck.
