I must have Windows running all the time since there are not sufficient number of equivalent softrware developed for windows. For example my question on equivalent to Babylon (Babylon.com) I did not get any reply.
Questions:
1. I went to synaptic and found that there are many, many files with name virtualbox in it. Do I need to install all of them or just the first one?
2. Can I open a virtual machine which I created in VmWare in virtualbox or I need to install Windows from scrap?
3. Any peace of advice and wisdom about virtualbox will be appreciated
1. Use the one from virtualbox.org and download the Linux binary, as it supports USB. If you do not need that, use the one found in Applications>Add/Remove.
2. I would not know, but for the sake of making sure it works correctly I would install from scratch.
3. Virtualbox is GREAT software and is quite FAST! Also, do not forget to download the windows guest additions for sharing files and quick cursor integration, as well as Seamless Mode (Which is pretty cool!).
