How to get Oracle Virtual Box 5.0 installed on (Ubuntu) Linux

How to get Oracle Virtual Box 5.0 installed on (Ubuntu) LinuxOracle’s Virtual Box is one of the easiest to use virtual machines that run under Linux.

If you want to use other free software alternatives to Oracle’s VM, you can check VMware Workstation, QEMU, or GNOME Boxes (currently works only on Fedora).VirtualBox Version 5.0The latest version of Virtual Box was released earlier this month and being a new major rel

Configuring a single Ubuntu installation as a dual-boot option and a VirtualBox appliance under Windows 10

Configuring a single Ubuntu installation as a dual-boot option and a VirtualBox appliance under Windows 10

Configuring a single Ubuntu installation as a dual-boot option and a VirtualBox appliance under Windows 10I often need to use Windows 10 and Ubuntu on the same machine within a single login session, so I run Ubuntu as a virtual machine in Oracle VirtualBox. But I also like to be able to boot my computer natively into Ubuntu, so a dual-boot configuration is optimal. To get the best of both worlds, I install Ubuntu in a dual-boot configuration alongside Windows, and configure VirtualBox to access the Ubuntu disk partitions as a raw disk image. This allows me to boot directly into Ubuntu, or boot

And also the headaches of maintaining multiple environments, because the client has a different setup than you do.To work around this problem, we can use what we call Vagrant. Vagrant is a tool for working with virtual environments.
