Was to be expected sooner or later. After several emulation projects (see Bochs for x86 emulation or PearPC emulation for PowerPC) or para-virtualization (see Xen ) came the first open source virtualization solution: VirtualBox the Innotek.

The virtualization is a technique that allows an unmodified operating system to run within a particular environment, within your existing operating system. This particular environment, called "virtual machine", is created precisely by virtualization software by identifying access to specific hardware and by some characteristics. The computer that physically hosts the virtual machine is usually called a "host", while the virtual machine is commonly called a "guest".

The advantage to run code in a virtual machine is that it can be immediately available to a second operating system without having to partition and dual boot, keeping intact the computing power to the guest (which therefore runs at a speed almost identical to that which would have when installing a stand-alone).

In particular, VirtualBox is a solution that resembles that of commercial software such as Parallels or VMWare .

It ' available for Windows, OSX and Linux.

A must try!

Yesterday I downloaded the latest release of the popular Ubuntu 7 and I installed it on my forklift at home (Athlon XP motherboard with VIA chipset) and everything went smoothly. I could appreciate the improvements made to this - already high - binary distribution (even if the gentoo just do not forget ..). However, this morning I brought with me in the office of the Ubuntu 7.04 CD and tried to install on the forklift at work (P4 1.6 GHz motherboard with Intel chipset) and ... wham! I can not even get to the desktop that everything hangs by a thin error:

/bin/sh/: can't access tty; job control turned off.

To serve the various tests are nothing with the passage of esoteric parameters to boot. It seems that this is a bug already known to comunitàdegli developers, as can be seen from this link:

A few days ago a friend has given me his laptop, an HP nx6310 for a reinstallation. Immediately I asked the recovery CD that usually comes out from the pack of the notebook: Lost! We contacted HP but it seems that you can not have a copy. So you have carried out a reinstallation starting with the XP CD but ... total luck: the notebook has a SATA disk not recognized by the installer of XP.

"Vabè" - you say - "download the drivers from the floppy and go to HP" ... Too bad the laptop in question does not have a floppy drive!

Surfing the web I immediately found the solution: nLite ( http://www.nliteos.com ). This amazing utility enables you to customize the installer of XP in many places (even lets you integrate Service Packs) and insert the missing drivers. Said than done. I have a customized XP installation disc in a few minutes, I burned (all the while using nLite) and the installation was successful. Spectacular!
