RE: Ctrl C in SQLPlus exits Windows

I run VirtualBox with Ubuntu. I mount one of my Windows drives to the Ubuntu image so I can access files. I actually do a lot of development this way. I have worked this way for years and believe it to provide a huge productivity advantage. Plenty of resources if you google but make sure you set up Guest Additions after you install VirtualBox host.

Also considering installing Linux on my PC with perhaps vmware or any free virtualization software (any pointers?)

I use both VMWare (Workstation and Fusion) and Oracle VirtualBox on my Windows and MacBook Pros.

Personally I like VirtualBox better for installing Linux VMs on which to try various things like Oracle DB and tools. It is partly a personal preference - for what I do, there is not much technical distiction. And part of the decision is that VirtualBox is open source GPL (no $$$), whereas I seem to get for-fee upgrade notices on the VMWare annually.

And I use Oracle Linux, in large part because it is also available at no fee (while being pretty much 100% compatible with RedHat Linux), and comes with a bunch of extra stuff tailored to installing and running just a smigdge easer (as compared to the other RH clones, such as Centos). I don't mind not putting on my sysadmin hat as often. And the fact that Oracle has a free public YUM site for most s/w updates & security fixes is a huge bonus.
