| rdfs:comment | - VirtualBox is an open source virtualization solution bought up by Sun.
- VirtualBox is a virtualization software that allows running virtual machines within a host system. The most notable being VMWare's workstation.
- The VirtualBox package installs on an existing host operating system as an application; this host application allows additional guest operating systems, each known as a Guest OS, to load and run, each with its own virtual environment. Supported guest operating systems include versions and derivations of Windows, Linux, BSD, OS/2, Solaris, Haiku and others. Since release 3.2.0, VirtualBox also allows limited virtualization of Mac OS X guests on Apple hardware, though OSX86 can also be installed using VirtualBox.
- Download VirtualBox from . You'll need the Fedora 9 Sulphur version. The file I downloaded is VirtualBox-2.0.2_36488_fedora9-1.i386.rpm. You'll also need to install some of the base Fedora development tools to successfully install VirtualBox. If you try to install without them you will receive errors. Let's get the necessary base tools installed. Open a terminal and log in as root or use the sudo command. Type sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' and sudo yum install qt qt-x11 SDL kernel-devel Once the above requirements are met you can install VirtualBox sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

VM users must be member of that group! No precompiled module for this kernel found -- trying to build one. Messages emitted during module compilation will be logged to /var/log/vbox-install.log. Success! VirtualBox is installed. Before you use VirtualBox you need to add yourself to the vboxusers group. sudo /usr/sbin/usermod -G vboxusers -a glenn Obviously you need to substitute my name for your username. Now you're ready to try VirtualBox. You can find the launcher under Applications > System Tools > Sun xVM VirtualBox. Something to keep in mind is that any time there is a kernel update for your Fedora 9 system you will need to rebuild the VirtualBox kernel module and you may see an error when the system boots related to the ability of the system to start VirtualBox. To rebuild the kernel module, simply issue the following command: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Once the command completes you will be able to use VirtualBox as usual.

Since release 3.2.0, VirtualBox also allows limited virtualization of Mac OS X guests on Apple hardware, though OSX86 can also be installed using VirtualBox. Since version 4.3 (released in October 2013), Microsoft Windows guests on supported hardware can take advantage of the recently implemented WDDM driver included in the guest additions; this allows Windows Aero to be enabled along with Direct3D support. Guest Additions should be installed in order to achieve the best possible experience. The Guest Additions can be installed inside a virtual machine after the installation of the guest operating system. They consist of device drivers and system applications that optimize the guest operating system for better performance and usability.
