I installed Android-x86 on an old netbook and started playing with it, and then I realized.why not run it in a VM?

I recently discovered the Android-x86 project, which has been going strong since 2009 to bring Android to the x86 platform. Now, it's certainly true that you can install the Android SDK and use its included emulator to run various versions of the OS, but that's a LOT of overhead I don't need to dive THAT deeply into Android internals, and-to be honest-the performance of the emulator isn't all that great. When it comes to Android, however, there IS a solution. Unless you just happen to have a spare device or two laying around and are willing to jailbreak them, you might be wondering if there's any way to observe network behavior in a fairly straightforward fashion. For a 'network guy', mobile devices can be really frustrating for one simple reason - unless you jailbreak the device, it can be rather difficult (if not impossible) to dive under the hood and get an idea of how the devices behave at the network layer.
