Virtual Machine (for Linux)?

Posted on November 23, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I want to learn more about Linux and the different distros before I try to dual boot or anything of the sort. I tried live cds, but you can’t learn much from those, as you can’t save anything and download anything without having to keep resetting an internet connection. I tried running Linux through Windows Virtual PC 2007 and 2004, but neither of them work. I’ve heard of VMware, but which one do you download? I’ve also heard of Virtual Box and am considering trying it.

So which download is the right one?

Install Linux Mint 7 from virtual box?

Posted on July 15, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I recently downloaded an .iso file of the new Mint 7 Gloria so that I could try it out. I was able to mount the file onto a virtual drive, so that I didn’t need to make a Live CD. Then I was able to play Mint 7 by using Sun xVM Virtual Box, and it was able to run fairly well.

Because of this, I want to run a dual boot of Mint 7 and Wondows Vista . But the question is: Can I install Mint onto my computer by using the methods stated earlier? Answers would be appreciated.
I’m guessing Wubi works with Mint since it’s based off of Ubuntu; right?
