Virtualization of OS has become almost a mantra among the experts of the IT infrastructure. Virtualization is really a very valuable technique for both companies as of date-center developer or experimental on duty. Having one or more completely virtualizing systems and isolated in a single machine is a fantastic resource. The Ubuntu 8.04 is ready for the top of virtualization technologies available. The VirtualBox OSE (Open Source Edition) is one of them and is very easy to install. In a terminal run:

  # Aptitude install VirtualBox-ose 

Just like that ....

The aptitude already automatically installs all the dependencies (some 30 MB in total). Along with the dependencies and installed a new kernel (2.6.24-16-386) already prepared for the VirtualBox. After a reinincialização you can now start to create as many virtual machines you want (in accordance with the limit of RAM). You access the interface for creating and managing MV in "Applications" -> "System Tools" -> "VirtualBox OSE."

An important detail is to include users who can create and manage virtual machines in the group is vboxusers via terminal ($ sudo usermod-G vboxusers <usuario>) or the graphical interface through the menu "System" -> "Administration" -> "Users and Groups "

Is that ...!
