The Ubuntu 10.10 release candidate running on VirtualBox.

Need to work out how to install the guest additions so I can get a proper screen resolution.

Found a solution,

Solution to VirtualBox guest problem
1. Open terminal and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-x11
2. Once installation is finished, restart your virtualBox machine.
3. Go to System -->Preferences -->Monitors and change the resolution of your screen.

Here is what I’ve got on my phone at the moment
