Virtual Ubuntu: traps for young players
Written By: David M Williams

With virtualisation becoming a mainstream technology, it’s becoming reasonable that Linux distros like Ubuntu will not always require a dedicated computer but instead be contained within a virtualised environment, whether on a Windows desktop or as part of a consolidated server farm. It’s not always plain sailing though – here are some problems you might encounter as well as their solutions.

Misadventures in Sun’s VirtualBox with Ubuntu and Vista

After reading good things about Sun’s VirtualBox, I decided to download version 1.6.2 two weeks ago to run Ubuntu 8.04 as a virtual machine within Windows Vista. While it worked perfectly at first, the installation of the virtual tools in Windows caused a complete system crash, which I could only fix by doing a System Restore. What happened, and now that VirtualBox has just had a maintenance upgrade to 1.6.4, will I try it again?

Sometime back, I had a couple of encounters with OpenSUSE, the so-called community distribution which was started by Novell in 2005. Neither of them was exactly salutary. For example, in October last year, version 10.3 was released and my efforts to see what it was all about were frustrated to a large extent by the downloads themselves.
