 <title>Ubuntu 8 on VirtualBox Hosted on Windows</title>
 <link>http://www.kai-mai.com/node/139</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
I recently got a Macbook Pro.  But I can no longer use VMWare on Mac to run Linux because VMWare charges for its Fusion player on Mac.
Fortunately, I can use &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.virtualbox.org/&quot;&gt;VirtualBox&lt;/a&gt; which is free for all platforms.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Here are the steps to get Ubuntu 8(Guest) up and running in VirtualBox on Windows(Host):
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=torrents&amp;search=&amp;category=30&amp;active=1&amp;tracker=0&quot;&gt;Download&lt;/a&gt; the ISO version of Ubuntu 8
&lt;li&gt; Open VirtualBox.  Create a new image.  I gave it a 16GB virtual disk.
&lt;li&gt; Attach the Ubuntu ISO image as cd-rom
&lt;li&gt; make sure the boot sequence starts with cd-rom
&lt;/ol&gt;
