What I do is create a dual-boot system, and, then, create a VM which
points to the other partition where Linux is installed.  That way, you can
have both a dedicated Linux system to boot into, and a VM that points to
the same system when you don't feel like rebooting.

Glad you enjoyed yourself -- sounds like fun!
