Hi Ed,
Do you have a VirtualBox tutorial and/or setup instructions guide that you
used (and liked)?
Like you VirtualBox isn't something I've used before and I'm trying to get the
wife to move to TDE, but she has 2 windows programs she has to use (neither
run well under wine).
Thanks,
Michael
Hi Michael,
I'm sorry, I don't. Oracle has a web site at https://www.virtualbox.org
that includes technical and end-user documentation. Up to now, I haven't
had the need to refer to it.
When I had Fedora installed, someone asked me if I tried Gnome Boxes
(GB), which doesn't require Gnome to be installed, it works with any DE.
Of course, I hadn't used any type of virtual anything before, so I
figured I would give it a try.
Although it's very easy to create a box using GB, VirtualBox (VB) has
more options. One thing I like about VB, is that there is an option to
make the box automatically expand its size on the disk, if needed. As
far as I know, the box size is fixed with GB when it's created. When I
created my boxes with VB, I set it to use 4GB of RAM and 20 or 25 GB for
the box size on the disk.
When installing an OS in a box and with the immediate subsequent package
upgrades, it will run somewhat slower. I noticed that some of the
kernel-related packages took a bit of time to upgrade. But Firefox and
Thunderbird run fine.
The Trinity PCLinuxOS image includes the VirtualBox installer and was
one of the first OS' I tried out in a box under Fedora.
