I've tried Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit, Ubuntu 14.10 32-bit, and Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit, Windows 7, Windows XP.
The installation goes smoothly if it's done automatically but if I do it manually it freezes after the first keystroke. It actually takes about 5 seconds to freeze. The cursor blinks a couple times and then more slowly and then it stops.
I have 2 CPUs dedicated, 4GB of ram.
I'm running on a pretty decked out machine. 32GB, core i7.
My host is running smoothly. It used to run just fine. This computer has been sitting for a while and had to do about 150 Windows updates.
I had Workstation 10.0 but I updated to 10.0.4.
Any ideas?
