[X4U] Linux on Virtual PC

Anyone got some Linux running on Virtual PC 7?

I tried first with the current Ubuntu. The installation goes well but 
networking doesn't work, and the graphics are absolutely unusable when 
it boots. I don't know whether the graphics can be fixed tweaking X 
configuration by hand, since there was no network anyway I gave up 
there to give Fedora Core 3 a chance.

The graphical installer of Fedora Core 3 works smoothly, everything 
seems to go well during installation, but when you're done and reboot 
after a few initial console messages a Virtual PC dialog saying "An 
unrecoverable processor error has occurred. The PC will now restart." 
shows up and the PC cannot go on, but restart.

Any ideas about fixes or alternatives?
