Oracle VM VirtualBox

Oracle VM VirtualBox is an x86 virtualization software package. It was created by software company innotek GmbH, purchased by Sun Microsystems, and is now developed by Oracle Corporation as part of its family of virtualization products.

VirtualBox is installed on an existing host operating system; within this application, additional guest operating systems can be loaded and run. Each guest OS operates within its own virtual environment.

Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and Solaris hosts. It supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to:

  • Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7)
  • DOS/Windows 3.x,
  • Linux (2.4 and 2.6)
  • Solaris and OpenSolaris
  • OS/2
  • OpenBSD
