I have Sage 5.5 installed on a Windows Vista desktop through Oracle's Virtual Box. I use Fedora for the Linux base. My problem is getting SagTeX and MiKTeX to work together. I'm not very familiar with all the Unix commands so it's hard for me to troubleshoot. I found a similar question here (Using SageTeX within Windows), but the answer was in reference to Linux Mint and VMware and I'd rather not download those since I already have Fedora and Virtual Box

Welcome to TeX.sx! – I do not understand: For Sage there exists a Windows binary, in MiKTeX the package sagetex is included or can installed with the package manager. In VirtuaBox you must activate, that you can read and write to the hardrive(s). On the other hand you could install TeX Live in Fedora … – Speravir Feb 24 at 19:05
Ooh, I see the “Windows binary” is itself a Virtualbox image of Sage in a small Linux distro. – Speravir Feb 24 at 19:16
I expect that getting MiKTeX, in Windows, to talk to Sage, in the virtual machine, could get tricky. What about just installing TeX Live in the virtual machine, and doing any SageTeX work completely in the virtual machine? If you only need access to the Python parts of Sage, you could consider a Python installation in Windows combined with my pythontex package. – G. Poore Feb 24 at 22:21
