I use VirtualBox on a Windows host. I just install Ubuntu 14.04 then build OpenStudio (but you can just install it too). The only tricky thing to me is that when you allocate the size of the disk in the virtual machine you should allocate enough room to last a while, it is difficult to resize the disks in the virtual machine later. The default partition sizes are usually pretty slow. Installing Guest Additions in VirtualBox is kind of a hassle but it is worth it.
