Virtualization tools

December 23rd, 2008

I was breaking my head installing Fedora core 10 on my microsoft virtual PC without any success. I went on searching more virtualization tools as I needed to get my fedora 10 get going…

Here are some info

1. Microsoft Virtual PC – Available for free from microsoft. Just go to microsoft.com , downloads section and download this one. You can create a virtual harddisk (a file on a host system and keep it anywhere). You can install a new OS in it.. (My Fedora core 10 couldn’t get installed.. thats where I am now !)

2. VMWare player – Another free tool available for download from http://www.vmware.com/download/eula/player_download.html . You can even get ready made virtual harddisks and use it (example fedora 9, 8 etc. You can download these and use straight away. No installation required)

3. Virtual Box – A GNU project . This is what I am gonna try now, kicking out microsoft virtual PC. Available free at http://www.virtualbox.org . I will post my experience soon.

Any other tools available which are good to be tried? Leave a feedback
