arch in a vm?

[Marcelo Cavalcante]

Hello Matt,

As others said, you have these two great options (also others): VirtualBox
and KVM.

I think the point is not "which one is better", as you already said you
"haven't worked with VMs for a long while. I thinks that's the point.
VirtualBox has an GUI more friendly with an easier configuration template
and other stuff that will make you project easier.

Good look trying this great distro.
