    How to run virtualbox in hardy?

    Hi guys,
    I used synaptic to install virtualbox but it moaned about kernel files not being there.. So i uninstalled then went to their site and installed using the deb file.

    Seemed to install ok, However i cant figure out how to actually run it.

    Cant seem to find an icon for it nor does just typing the name in a terminal work.

    Any ideas?

    The program 'virtualbox' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
    sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
    bash: virtualbox: command not found
    lynxus@lynxus-desktop:~$ virtualbox-ose
    bash: virtualbox-ose: command not found
    lynxus@lynxus-desktop:~$
