Hobbit on a virtual machine?

Hi all, I was looking through the hobbit man-pages and I didn't see anything about running hobbit on a VM. We are currently doing this and we're having all kinds of issues with it. I don't know if it's an Ubuntu problem, a Hobbit problem, or a VMWare problem, but I thought I would check here first and see if anyone out there is running Hobbit on a VM, or even better, running it on Ubuntu on a VM and see if they've had any issues.

Thanks,

Brian Thompson
