VMWare or Virtualbox on Linux Mint? ....Solved.

Post by R@inm@n »

Hi everyone.

I'm planning on installing a basic Windows OS on a virtual system inside Mint Helena.

Which is better to install, V-Box or VMware?

Anyone had previous experience with either or both on Mint?

Thanks,


R.

I agree with DrHu. I like VirtualBox. I use it often for experimenting different OS.

Virtualbox.

If you need USB support download the PUEL version from Sun's website.

The OSE version in the repositories does not provide USB support.

http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

You would download the Ubuntu 9.10 ("Karmic Koala") version,
i386 if you are using the 32bit version of Helena, AMD64 if you are
using Helena 64 bit.

Read the entire page, the information is very useful.
