Posted in Virtual Box on 06/27/2009 12:12 am by Ariel E. IsidroSince I started using VirtualBox in my Operating System classes, learning different operating systems has become more fun and exciting. My students were able to explore various operating systems such as Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Windows while using just a single pc.
VirtualBox is a powerful virtualization software that is currently maintained by Sun Microsystems, Inc. and is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Installation of VirtualBox is straightforward as illustrated below:
Begin the installation by running the downloaded file, i.e., locate the file and double click it. A dialog box appears, simply click “Run”.
Welcome screen should should be displayed. Click “Next” to continue.
End-User license appears. Read the license agreement, then click the radio button “I accept the terms in the License Agreement” to start the installation, otherwise choose “I do not accept” and the installation will be halted.
Custom Setup dialog box appears to allow customization of the installation.
A warning message appears alerting the user that network connection will be temporarily disconnected.
Finally, VirtualBox is ready to Install, click “Install” to commence installation.
A window showing that installation is in progress.
