Installing VirtualBox and a Windows XP Virtual Machine in Ubuntu 8.10

Virtual desktops are great tools to help bridge the gap for users nervous about transitioning to open source operating systems away from their native Windows Operating systems. This tutorial is meant for beginner to novice Linux users, who are not ready to give up their Windows Operating Systems just yet.

This tutorial will cover the installation of Sun MicroSystem’s software VirtualBox, current version 2.1.4. Sun MicroSystem develops two editions of VirtualBox, a free and non-free edition. The free and non-free distinctions relate to the source code for the software. The free version is open source and the non-free version is closed source. This tutorial is going to explain how to set up the more powerful non-free edition, because of its advanced network settings. I am creating this tutorial to share my knowledge and experience in working with Virtual Machines.

I have configured hundreds of Virtual Machines before and each one follows a similar setup. By the end of this tutorial users will have gained the knowledge of how to install and fully configure a Windows XP virtual machine on their host Ubuntu desktops or servers.

Your processor must support hardware virtualization to install VirtualBox. Intel processors that support virtualization are aptly named VT-x, and AMD processors are notated AMD-V. Memory is another important thing to check before installing VirtualBox. Since both the host and guest operating system require a minimum allotment of memory your system must meet these minimum requirements.

Since the minimum system requirements for my host operating system (Ubuntu 8.10) an my Virtual XP system only add up to approximately 512mb, the 2 gigs available will be ample. Finally you must have ample storage space on your host’s hard drive to supply your new Virtual Machine.
