I played around a lot with VPC a couple years ago, and among the 
systems I had installed were Corel Linux & RedHat 6. Here's some 
screenshots-woo-hoo! (everybody loves screenshots)

I think only the first one maybe shows VPC.

How is the BeOS?
I purchased BeOS 5.0 pro back when it was new on store shelves...
  it installed just fine in VPC, but was useless due to no support for 
USB keyboard & mouse, perhaps a more recent one like BeOS Max doesn't 
even have this problem?
Did you put BeOS on its own disk image? If not, are you able to boot 
straight into BeOS or do you have to start Windoze first? I've never 
tried the PE version.

thanks,
