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?
