![]() ![]() Virtual Box is a great, free, virtual machine that will run Ubuntu just fine.Īlso a tip I would do, is to put the Kernel Error into the question, it might be that the iso was incomplete when downloaded or something along those lines. It also doesn't officially support Linux." So, I would use 32bit unless you ABSOLUTELY have to use 64, in which I have yet to encounter a situation that forces me into that corner. It is unlikely that any bugfixes have been put in recently. Again as I quote ObsessiveFOSS, "Virtual PC 2007 is quite old and no longer under development. Since this is a 64bit laptop, it's capable of running both 64bit operating systems (x86_64) as well as 32bit operating systems (x86). 32bit operate just as well, and probably under the Virtual Machine, a little faster. Here's my answer, ObsessiveFOSS has it summed up pretty well, but really, unless you're doing Scientific Calculations, managing large MySQL databases, 64bit operating systems are just luxury for the name. Note that some BIOSes and processors do not support virtualization. If you are unable to use AMD-V, or Intel Virtualization technology, turn it on in your BIOS(You probably will have one or the other, not both), and see this answer. You have no risk of damaging your Windows partitions. In the first run wizard, point the VM to the ISO file you downloaded for Ubuntu.īoot up and install as usual. Under System->Acceleration, turn on both the VT-x/AMD-V and the nested paging options. Be sure to use the VDI option.įinish up and right click the virtual machine in the menu and click "Settings" It uses about 1.8 GB on your host drive once installed and only uses more space on the host as you use space on the guest. Make the disk dynamic and at least 100GB. Set the RAM to at least 512MB if possible. Moreover, it is free and open-source, which helps with bugfixes and security. Since I don't know the nature of your error or if there is even a fix, I recommend you use Virtualbox as it is still being updated and has great Linux support. It also doesn't officially support Linux. It is unlikely that any bugfixes have been put in recently.
