VirtualBox v1.5.6 on UBuntu Gutsy


Solaris 10 is installing on VirtualBox v1.5.6. I am installing Solaris 10 using ISO image instead using the normal DVD.

Creating VirtualBox disk for guest OS is pretty straightforward. I am impressed with VirtualBox GUI. Damn simple !

You can grab a copy of the VirtualBox End User documentation from here

Let see how the performance of VirtualBox as compared to VMware. VMWare performance on my laptop is quite unpleasant when running both Window 2000 and Solaris 10.

I just love the CUBE !

VirtualBox on UBuntu Gutsy



I have been trying to install Solaris 10 on Ubuntu Gutsy using VirtualBox but it never go beyond this stage ...

Having searching around for clue , I decided to use the latest version of VirtualBox (v1.5.6) instead on v1.5.0.

Downloading it now and let hope it works !

Installation is pretty easy and instruction can be found here.

Update :
If you have installed the old version of VirtualBox (v1.5.0) , please do remove it first before installing the v1.5.6.

 # apt-get remove virtualbox-ose
