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
