Installing VirtualBox and a Windows XP Virtual Machine in Ubuntu 8.10

by Anthony Hopkins.

Virtual desktops are great tools to help bridge the gapfor users nervous about transitioning to open source operating systems away from their native Windows Operating systems. This tutorial is meant for beginner to novice Linux users, who are not ready to give up their Windows Operating Systems just yet. This tutorial will cover the installation of Sun MicroSystem's software VirtualBox, current version 2.1.4. Sun MicroSystem develops two editions of VirtualBox, a free and non-free edition. The free and non-free distinctions relate to the source code for the software. The free version is open source and the non-free version is closed source. This tutorial is going to explain how to set up the more powerful non-free edition, because of its advanced network settings. I am creating this tutorial to share my knowledge and experience in working with Virtual Machines. I have configured hundreds of Virtual Machines before and each one follows a similarsetup. By the end of this tutorial users will have gained the knowledge of how to install and fully configure a Windows XP virtual machine on their host Ubuntu desktops or servers. [via]
