Hello. If you need to test any operate system like OpenSolaris, Linux, FreeBsd and others, you can try to install it on a virtual machine. VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software.
It is very easy to install VirtualBox in Ubuntu.
Open the Terminal and type
mkdir ~/virtualbox
cd ~/virtualboxwget -c http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Ubuntu_intrepid_i386.deb
dpkg -i *.deb
That's it! In another tutorial, I will show how to install OpenSolaris in VirtualBox.
To open VirtualBox press alt+f2 and type VirtualBox
I will appreciate your comments.
wget downloads the file with an invalid name.
You should run this after wget:
mv virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Ubuntu_intrepid_i386.deb\?e\=1240333954\&h\=98f7c1c847f01f5a6c66b5f738c560ff virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Ubuntu_intrepid_i386.deb
Also, in the intrepid 8.10, there are errors.
I suggest doing sudo apt-get -y build-dep virtualbox-ose before trying to run dpkg -i

I'm new to Linux. I downloaded the Ubuntu_jaunty version of VirtualBox, switched to the download directory and executed sudo dpkg -i *.deb. I received the following errors indicating some required packages are not installed (see below). How does one install these packages?
Thanks for any help!

Never mind. I figured it out.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
