Running Linux in a Virtual Machine

2007-09-24T05:13:50Z

RobertDodd: /* Choosing a virtual machine image */

There are two things you need to run Linux in a virtual machine: a virtual machine application and an image.

==Choosing a virtual machine application==

If you are running Windows, two popular options for running Linux in a virtual machine are:

* [http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ VMWare Player] (commercial but free)
* [http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/ QEMU] (open source)
* [http://www.virtualbox.org/ VirtualBox] (commercial w/ free trial and open source)

If you are running OSX, two popular options for running Linux in a virtual machine are:

* [http://www.parallels.com/ Parallels] (commercial)
* [http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/ VMWare Fusion] (commercial)

==Choosing a virtual machine image==

You can do a fresh install of virtually any Linux distribution in most modern virtual machine environments, including [http://www.debian.org Debian] and [http://www.ubuntu.com Ubuntu]. However, it is easier to start with a prebuilt machine image. Such images are often referred to as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_appliance virtual appliances].

There are a variety of images available. Please update the list below with your experiences running these virtual machines:

* [http://www.visoracle.com/download/debian/ Debian 4.0 (Etch) image] for VMWare Player '''UNTESTED'''
* [http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/954 Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) image] for VMWare Player '''UNTESTED'''
* [http://isv-image.ubuntu.com/vmware/ Ubuntu (Gnome) and kubuntu (KDE)] official 7.04, 6.10, 6.06 images for VMWare Player
**'''Kubuntu-7.04-desktop-amd64.zip Tested OK'''
**'''Ubuntu-7.04-desktop-amd64.zip Tested OK'''
* Others?

Note: The amd64 images work with Intel 64 Bit CPU's (ie. Core 2 Duo).

When connected to the university network, NAT will allow internet access for the virtual machine. Ensure that any firewalls are configured to trust the VMWare Virtual Ethernet Adaptor.
